RMI’s new Rack Safety Infographic offers a quick, visual guide to best practices in industrial steel storage rack safety. Designed as an interactive PDF, the infographic’s target audience is owners, facility managers, and users of all types of storage rack. Printable, the document can also be posted within a warehouse or facility as part of safety practices.
Infographic Ideal for Training Usage
In addition to serving as a quick-reference tool, the Rack Safety Infographic is also an educational resource that can be used to reinforce a company’s overall safety culture. Because rack systems are such a critical part of warehouse operations, even small mistakes in design, installation, or day-to-day use can create serious risks for both workers and inventory. Therefore, the infographic gives teams a simple way to start conversations about rack safety and compliance. Further, it makes it easier to train new employees or refresh the knowledge of experienced staff.
The visual format ensures that important information is easy to understand at a glance, even for those who may not be familiar with technical documents or lengthy codes. By breaking down complex standards into digestible insights, the infographic helps reduce confusion and prevent costly errors. For organizations looking to promote safer facilities, it’s a valuable tool to keep front and center.
