What is this module about?
Steel racking structures are designed to maximise the storage of various goods. It is arranged in rows and stacked vertically. It allows for safe and easy access when a forklift is utilised to load and unload goods.
Why is this module important?
Steel racking structures is engineered to withstand downward (vertical) forces. Consequently, any impacts or jostles to the horizontal components can significantly compromise the structure’s load-bearing capacities. It’s worth noting that even minor damage to a racking structure component can precipitate a racking structure failure. Moreover, the goods stored within the racking structures could pose a risk of injury. Pallets that are damaged or not properly secured, as well as items improperly placed on a pallet, could tumble from the racking structures and cause injury or damages.
Who is this module intended for?
This module is geared towards those engaged in the warehousing and storage of goods using steel racking structures. It’s specifically relevant for individuals overseeing warehouse or storage facilities, Material Handling Equipment (MHE) operators, and staff within the warehousing environment at large.
The training aims to equip you with the knowledge to determine the appropriate and secure practises for working within and around steel racking structures.
