Pallet Rack Safety; What Not To Do.
Friday, March 30th, 2007I discovered some newly installed pallet rack at a big box store while on my lunch break. The store is going through a very large remodel and contractors were everywhere. 
I was shocked to find such a blatant safety issue. I found pallet rack that was stocked with merchandise while the upright was not anchored and shimmed with pieces of wood.
It amazes me how any installer would risk their company, insurance, and safety of others by allowing a safety issue such as this. I also found other runs of pallet rack unanchored and yet loaded with merchandise.
As retailers remain open for business during a remodel, it is important for everyone (Installers and Retailers) to make the safety of store personnel, contractors, and the shoppers their number one priority.
Some one, somewhere should have some explaining to do. What happened to “Safety First”?
