▲Can You Walk Under Pallet Racking? Debunking the Myth

The answer to whether you can walk under pallet racking depends on the design and configuration of the racking system. In traditional pallet racking setups, it is generally not recommended to walk under the racks. The space under the racks is often reserved for machinery, forklifts, or other equipment used for loading and unloading pallets. Walking under pallet racking in such setups can pose serious safety risks, including the risk of falling objects.

 

▲Safety Tips for Using Pallet Racking Systems

☑1. Designated Walkways: In warehouses where walking under pallet racking is necessary, it’s important to designate safe walkways separate from the storage area. These walkways should be clearly marked and free from obstructions.

☑2. Proper Training: Employees who work around pallet racking systems should receive proper training on safety protocols. This includes understanding the dangers of walking under racks, recognizing potential hazards, and knowing how to navigate around the racking safely.

☑3. Protective Gear: If walking under pallet racking is unavoidable, employees should wear appropriate personal protective equipment , such as hard hats and high-visibility vests, to reduce the risk of injury from falling objects.

☑4. Regular Inspections: Regular inspections of the racking system are crucial to identifying any potential safety hazards. Any damaged components should be promptly repaired or replaced to prevent accidents.
