Pallet Racking comes in many shapes and lengths and weight capacities.
Increased Occupational Health & Safety legislation is prompting users to ensure their storage and racking systems are safe and investigate methods of avoiding ongoing damage.
Load signs are placed on the ends of each run of pallet racking to make the fork lift driver aware of the safe loading limit of each bay and level.
Regular inspection of racking should be conducted to check its integrity, identify maintenance requirements and to stop racking being 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 information for workers using the racking to assist in making them 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. safe working unit load
b. safe working unit load for each shelf beam level
c. safe working total unit load for each bay

Load Signs available for $38.50 each inc GST

Rack Audits (safety checks) should be performed on a regular basis by a qualified inspector familiar with design and safety standards to make sure all aspects of the system are  operating 100% safely 

Because of the size and weight of pallets, important safety factors have to be considered at all times:

1. Pay attention to any loose components in the pallet rack system, and take the time to report any damage to avoid potential hazards for other users. ( in the pallet rack frame; such frame damage could cause the pallets to fall.) 
2. It is the owner’s legal responsibility to communicate this important warning to all who are around storage racks:
   “Never climb on racks during or after assembly. Storage racks are not designed to be stepped on or climbed on. A slip or fall may result in serious injury.”
   It is especially important to have highly visible warning signs if the pallet rack system is used in retail environments, such as wholesale centers, where the public is present.  
3. Use only quality pallets that are not damaged. Regular inspection of pallets for broken or fractured planks or stringers, protruding nails, and missing support blocks is essential. Damaged pallets can cause loading and unloading problems; for example, loose stringers can get hung up on the pallet racks, which can cause loads to fall from high positions. Also, faulty pallets can cause obstruction problems in flow systems by jamming certain pallet rack designs.  
4. Always ensure that the proper motorized equipment is being used for the application.  
5. Do not obstruct the end of aisles by stacking pallets in these areas. Doing so can cause severe and potentially fatal injuries and accidents.  
6. Never overload or exceed the recommended load specifications for a racking system. Overloading may cause a catastrophic failure of your storage rack system.
