Pallet Racking Inspection Training and Work At Height

1. Pallet Racking Inspection Training and Work At Height Pallet racking inspection training is one of the many safety procedures warehouse owners should follow. Working at height safety is another. When working at height, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings and the potential dangers around you. One such danger might be that you ignore racking safety, so it’s important to consider the two safety disciplines together. In order to do that, though, the definition of terms is vital.

2. Pallet Racking Safety Is… Pallet racking safety refers to any kind of procedure designed to make pallet racking — and its use — safer. In the UK, the official safety procedures most relevant to pallet racking come from HSE and SEMA. These safety procedures include pallet racking inspection training, among other things. Pallet racking inspection training and pallet racking inspections in Ireland are not directly recommended by HSA, but there is an informal recommendation. Work At Height Safety Is… According to HSE’s HSG76, “work in any place, including above or below ground level, where someone could fall and injure themselves” counts as work at height. In the UK, the Work at Height Regulations 2005 outlines in full an employer’s legal responsibility when asking their staff to work at height.
