Racking Inspection 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.
