In conjunction with you, Rack & Shelve IT! can develop a
maintenance program that will lead to a reduction in damage to your pallet
racking and an overall safer working operation.
By applying the Rack & Shelve IT! Pallet Racking
Inspection Program to your workplace, you can ensure the safety and efficient
operations of your pallet racking and meet with your requirements under the
Standard.
The Rack & Shelve IT! Pallet Racking Inspection Program
consists of an initial audit to determine the configuration and integrity of
your existing pallet racking. Regular self assessment Log Book inspections
are encouraged together with six monthly and 12 monthly audits conducted by Rack
and Shelve It! to ensure the compliance of existing pallet racking and outline
what improvements can or need to be made.
