Racking Safety Load Notices

Importance of Health and Safety

Health and safety are crucial in any workplace. According to UK health and safety law, it is mandatory for all mechanically loaded storage equipment, including pallet racking, to display safety load notices. This requirement applies regardless of the racking’s location or setting.

Understanding Load Notices

Load notices are essential signs. They instruct users on how to properly use, maintain, and avoid misusing the racking system. Therefore, it’s vital that these notices are displayed clearly.

Risks of Not Having Load Notices

Without appropriate load notices, users risk overloading the system. In worst-case scenarios, this can lead to racking collapses and serious injuries.
