Rack Safety Training
Pallet Racking Safety Awareness & Inspection Course
Annual rack safety inspections by a qualified inspector are recommended. It is just as important that your employees know how to conduct regular internal inspections. This will help to keep the racking equipment in a safe working condition and alert you to any necessary repairs.
