Training Overview

Storage racks are used extensively in industrial workplaces, but are commonly neglected. Damage from forklift strikes and heavy loads is cumulative and can lead to racking collapse if the damage is not identified and repaired in time. Consequences of a collapse include:

  • Serious injuries and fatalities involving employees and/or customers
  • Damage to property and products
  • Disruption to business
  • Potential prosecutions, fines & imprisonment

Reduce the risk of racking collapse by learning how to properly inspect and maintain steel storage racks using the new CSA A344:24 User Guide for Steel Storage Racks.

Developed in exclusive partnership with CSA, this one-day, instructor-led course guides participants through the CSA A344 User Guide for Steel Storage Racks and provides them with the knowledge and experience to inspect racks and recognize hazards; gauge the severity of rack damage; and determine what to do before modifying racks or introducing new ones.

Through this training, employers will be able to:

  • Reduce the risk of costly losses involving racking systems
  • Build staff knowledge and proficiency in the areas of inspecting & maintaining racking systems
  • Improve consistency of approach when multiple work locations are involved
  • Demonstrate due diligence

This training is facilitated by a WSPS technical expert qualified in steel storage racking systems and with in-depth knowledge of the new CSA A344:24 Guide. Training can be personalized to any sector or workplace, including those with multiple locations.

Each participant receives a participant’s guide, a sample rack inspection checklist and a copy of the CSA A344 User Guide for Steel Storage Racks – a retail value of $100!
