Your storage racking system can influence productivity throughout the entire logistics chain. Steel storage racks are common equipment in industries such as distribution centres, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and the storage area of retail operations.
This course will help participants identify inherent hazards associated with storage racks and understand best practices for effective installation, maintenance and repair to prevent incidents, injuries, lost time and unforeseen expenses.

Managers,

Warehouse Workers within BC’s manufacturing industry.
Any business operator would be devastated to have a worker seriously injured or killed on the job. To break the news to the worker’s family. To face the damage to their company’s reputation.
Injury rates are trending down in the manufacturing sector, but B. C. workers still missed 3.65 million days of work in 2021 due to work-related incidents and disease, and 161 people lost their lives due to workplace injuries or illness.
Designing an effective safety program is the responsible thing to do for your employees and your business. It’s a basic building block for sustainability. With today’s aging workforce and low unemployment, your investment in safety management is a critical factor in:
Your workplace culture: Impacting recruiting, retention, and morale
Your financials: Improving productivity, reducing sick time, cutting WorkSafeBC premiums and eliminating penalties
Your reputation: Driving your brand profile and competitive advantage
That’s where the Manufacturing Safety Alliance comes in. The not-for-profit health and safety association for manufacturing and food processing companies across British Columbia, the Alliance provides free health and safety advice and support, some free education, and low member rates on a range of fee-based training and specialized services.
Industry funded, the Alliance supports more than 3,000 BC manufacturers and food processors with services and training, in 50 industries to date—from machine shops to wineries, trailer manufacturers to meat processing plants. If you work in one of these industries, you may already be a member—and each year, more companies and industries join the Alliance—your single source and partner for health and safety advice, services, and training.
Falls from height are among the most common causes of serious work-related injuries and deaths in the workplace.
The lockout/tag out program is the main method recommended and used for worker protection in cases where non-routine activities are performed such as repair, maintenance require the removal of guarding devices and barrier guards.
When an emergency of this scale occurs, local municipalities are usually the first level of government to respond. However, municipalities are not alone in emergency response.
