Warehouse racking safety training

How safe are your team around steel storage racking?

A well-trained team is one of the best investments you can make in warehouse racking safety. When staff know how to manage a system correctly, spot warning signs and carry out minor maintenance properly, the risk of racking failure drops significantly.

Work, Health and Safety legislation in Australia requires employers to provide staff with training to identify hazards, assess risk and do their jobs safely.

With this in mind, IRIA offers a range of training courses – online, face-to-face or customised for your organisation – designed specifically for staff warehouse racking safety awareness.
