CAUSES OF RACK COLLAPSE
Only an expert can tell if your facility is safe.
- Poor system design
- Improperly installed systems
- Ignorance of Safe Working Load (SWL) capacities
- Non-adherence to SWL capacities (overloading)
- Component damage
- Inadequate, or complete lack of, maintenance and repair work
- Ignorance of OHS Act regulations and requirements
- Ignorance and non-implementation of best practice requirements outlined by applicable Standards
Ignorance is never an excuse, and racking collapse is avoidable under normal circumstances. It is imperative to adequately train staff so that they can identify and evaluate typical defects present on an installation, and to have a reporting and maintenance system in place. Implementing design, quality control, repair, and maintenance procedures can easily ensure a safe storage system life cycle with minimal risks.
Damage to your rack and shelving structure can have a significant financial impact on you and your company. Ensuring that your systems and structures are secure and up to safety standards should be a high priority for any business long standing or new.
