This month we have collaborated with North American Storage Equipment to highlight Pallet Racking Safety 

Pallet racking safety in Alberta is of paramount importance to ensure a secure and efficient warehouse environment. Employers and employees must adhere to the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations, which provide specific guidelines for the installation, maintenance, and use of pallet racking systems.

Regular inspections and maintenance checks are essential to identify and address any potential hazards, such as damaged beams or improperly secured loads, which could lead to accidents or injuries. Additionally, proper training for employees on safe loading and unloading practices, as well as weight limits and load distribution, is crucial to prevent overloading and structural failures. Compliance with these safety measures not only safeguards the well-being of workers but also promotes productivity and operational efficiency in the warehouse.
