APPROACHING AND ENTERING THE RACK
The forklift truck should approach the rack squarely and not at an angle.
No attempt should be made to deposit/retrieve pallets or to enter a rack when the truck is NOT
correctly aligned. It is not acceptable to attempt to re-align a truck after entry into the rack.

UNACCEPTABLE PALLET HANDLING
It is not acceptable practice to:
• Nudge one pallet with another, in an attempt to move or re-align loads.
• Drag or slide pallets on or against the pallet rails or structure.
• Position or locate a pallet by nudging the one behind.
All of these are dangerous practices that impart additional loads in the rack structure, and could
lead to damage and a reduction in safety.
All are avoidable if the correct procedures are adopted.
NEVER WORK BENEATH STORED PALLETS
It is not safe to either work or drive a truck beneath a pallet that is being stored above.
Adhering to the correct loading/unloading sequences will prevent these unsafe situations occurring.
