Course Information
Pallet racking failures don’t happen by accident — they happen when damage is missed, loads are incorrect, or inspections are not taken seriously.
This course gives workers and supervisors the practical knowledge needed to use, inspect, and report pallet racking safely in Australian workplaces.
Safe Operation and Inspection of Pallet Racking explains how racking systems are designed to work, what causes them to fail, and what workers must do to prevent collapses, injuries, and costly damage. It focuses on everyday warehouse and storage environments where forklifts, pallets, and people operate close together.
The course cuts through assumptions and bad habits. Learners are shown what racking damage actually looks like, why even small impacts matter, and when racking must be reported, isolated, or repaired. It also reinforces legal duties under Australian WHS laws to maintain plant and structures in a safe condition.
This training is suitable for both operators and those responsible for checking racking systems as part of routine inspections.
This course takes approximately 20-30 mins to complete.
