The Busy Warehouse professional has many diverse and daily challenges, staff management, Inwards and Outwards flow of stock, Forklift operation and maintenance...the list is never ending.

It is then not surprising that certain fundamentals of warehousing can easily get overlooked in the 'If it ain't broke don't fix it' mentality. One of these important elements is the mainstay of the Warehousing world. Pallet Racking.

Daily it gets nudges from forklifts, a beam might come unseated here or there, safety clips get knocked by stock and lie abandoned on the floor - to be fixed in those rare quiet times. Not a big deal?

Such a simple little device, the safety clip, is a major factor in the safety of your racking and could make the difference between creating a safe working environment and a dangerous one. One missing safety clip is all it can take for a major collapse to happen in the right conditions.

Look around your warehouse now. Would you know where all the small niggley damages to your racking are? Where clips are missing? Would you be able to send your repairer a list to get them all fixed? Perhaps an Independent service to Inspect your racking is just what the OH&S department ordered.

Australian Standard AS4084-12 States that inspections should be carried out at least annually. Does your warehouse meet Australian Standards? If not, and a racking failure occurs, you and the business could be culpable. Industrial Manslaughter could be a reality.
