Tips for Maintaining Warehouse Rack Safety and Compliance

It’s important to create safe working conditions no matter what type of workplace you’re a part of. Whether you manage a grocery store, a greenhouse, a school or a heavy-duty construction site, one of your jobs is to make sure everyone who sets foot on-site stays as safe as possible.

Your stockroom is the organizational center of your retail business. If you’re like most retail operators, you’re always struggling to make the best of your limited storage space. You’re trying to maximize existing space without adding expensive square footage. You’re also attempting to improve your stockroom efficiency and raise your bottom line.

Too often, warehouse managers take their storage racks for granted. Most storage racks are designed and installed to serve a long life cycle with minimal maintenance or attention. That is, until they’re damaged. This damage can easily go unnoticed or unreported until it results in catastrophic failure and complete load collapse.
