Pallet racks are essential to your warehouse operations, but with heavy traffic, forklifts, and constant use, they can become damaged over time. Regular inspections are key to ensuring the safety, compliance, and longevity of your racking system. At RACKsteel, we prioritize WorkSafeBC compliance and the optimization of your racking system to keep your warehouse running smoothly and safely.

CSA A344-17 User guide for steel storage racks recommends the following:
8.1.2: A rack inspection program should be developed that includes routine inspections (typically monthly) and a more rigorous expert inspection that is performed by persons with special knowledge and training with respect to structural engineering concepts and rack inspection procedures.
8.1.6: The frequency of both routine and expert inspections should be determined by a risk assessment done by a health and safety professional, the rack vendor, or engineering consultant specialized in rack inspection. In general, the routine inspections should be conducted monthly, and the expert inspections performed annually. The frequency should, as a minimum, ensure compliance with local regulations. Note: the frequency of inspections can change over time depending on the outcome and findings of successive inspections.
