Safe Working Loads

time2011/11/14

Regular inspection of racking should be conducted both in-house and independent to check its integrity,

identify maintenance requirements and to ensure racking is not overloaded.

Do not exceed the Safe Working Limit (SWL) for the unit load or the safe working total load per bay

for the racking.

There should be some means of ensuring that workers using the

racking are aware of its SWL; e.g. having one or more signs in

conspicuous locations, such as at the end of all aisles, which

contain the following information: a. racking manufacturer's

name and trademark b. safe working unit load

c. safe working unit load for each shelf beam level

d. safe working total unit load for each bay.
