We are going to start the series of topics from Link 51’s Health & Safety guide to pallet racking and manual handling.
Safety=Profit
Health and Safety in the workplace is an issue which organisations can no longer afford to ignore, as the costs of accidents and subsequent absenteeism in the workplace continues to rise. By taking cost effective, often simple precautions and protective measures, the risks of accidental damage can be dramatically reduced and expensive legal battles avoided. Organisations that perform well and can demonstrate high standards of health and safety are often the most successful, regardless of size or industry. Clearly, Health and Safety issues are now a major consideration for any successful company. Health and Safety in the workplace is a manageable factor, and many businesses need to do more to prevent accidents. By working together, Link 51 can help you to develop a safer working environment and solve your storage problems.
The safe and efficient use of pallet racking storage systems depends on a number of factors. This guide is intended to give an indication of good practice and advice to the warehouse operator who may not be a specialist in technical matters or in the detail design related to the storage facility. If the users should be left in any doubt about a particular situation then more specialist advice must be sought from the supplier of the equipment. In general, storage systems using pallets, pallet racking and mechanical handling equipment are safe when well designed and used within the designed parameters.
