United Rack Services offers a unique, comprehensive safety training package specifically focused on storage rack safety. It includes in-house training on recognizing trouble spots in the warehouse and provides employees with the tools necessary to identify defects and deficiencies in the racking system.
We have developed a program that will give you the confidence and knowledge to carry out a competent safety inspection on your racking systems.
This one day seminar will increase your ability to assess the potential dangers of racking systems, teach you how to plan your internal inspections and present evidence of what could happen if you don’t take care.
To maximize your training experience, we suggest that a baseline facility inspection be conducted prior to the training. Your training session will then include a customized presentation relating to the specific environment of your facility.
The Return on Investment (ROI) for these seminars is high. When you use the knowledge learned form the seminar, and put into practice an a management system on your racking, you will find a reduction in repair and replacement costs and have less damage to valuable stock due to a decrease in damaged racking. These reductions will also significantly lower the risk of injury to personnel.
