When do warehouse storage racking need inspection(i)

time2011/11/08

Few warehouse operators have aggressive in-house racking inspection programs in place. For klift accidents,collisions, dropped or misplaced loads, and other incidents that result in rack age may or may not get promptly reported.But even when a forklift hitting the front end corner of rack #37 South gets reported, a typical management response never goes beyond "let's go take a look," as if a quick visual inspection alone will confirm that load limits and structural integrity of the rack have not been affected by the accident.It's as if, while other hazards "stand out" to otherwise reasonable and prudent supervisors, there often is an absolute lapse in concern for 100,000 pounds of rack and product collapsing in a pile across the tight confines of a busy warehouse.
