On-Site Rack Repair Inspection Training | Apex Safety Spotlight

Weighing warehouse safety and social distancing rules? The Apex Rack Repair team is here to help even the scales.

Keeping everyone safe while ramping up fulfillment or pivoting to handle new inventory and worker protection regulations is challenging. Let the Apex team take some of the pressure off. Our Rack Repair and Safety Program can provide pallet rack inspection training to help keep your rack in first-rate shape. Apex will train your team to spot rack damage and warehouse safety concerns before they become a hazard.

We can help in several ways:

1. On-site rack inspection training for your team
2. Professional rack audit services by the Apex PROs
3. Replace and repair kit solutions to fix rack damage
4. Digital training resources to support ongoing warehouse safety efforts

Our team is equipped to offer on-site pallet rack inspection training for members of your staff (where allowed) to expedite the assessment and repair of damaged rack if needed. The quicker an issue is assessed, the faster your system is up and fully functioning to ensure a safe and productive facility.

By training members of your team, you can supplement annual professional inspections done by the Apex PROs. Having your systems internally examined regularly (whether daily, weekly, monthly, etc.) will catch existing damage and result in faster repairs, reducing downtime. Your staff will be trained to recognize and evaluate damage and lock out affected locations if deemed to present a severe safety hazard.

The cornerstone of the Rack Repair and Safety Program is the Apex Rack Repair App. The App is free for download and will be used by all on-site trainees. See below for more about the Apex Rack Repair App.

They are not meant to replace annual, professional rack inspections. The Apex PROs are certified through an extensive education and training program which has been reviewed and approved by SEIZMIC Engineering, a professional engineering firm specializing in material handling system safety.
