Stacking and Storage Inspection

by San Gascon, from the Community

This construction checklist helps supervisors and crews inspect stacking and storage practices to prevent collapses and injuries. It guides checks on competent supervision, stable and level bases, uniform size and weight of materials, pallet and container condition, and structural integrity of supports. It covers safe access using ladders, controlling exposure to moving vehicles and machinery, securing freestanding stacks, displaying approvals and maximum stack heights, avoiding overhang, and obtaining approvals for higher stacks. It also promotes protecting operators from falling objects and scheduling routine quarterly inspections to maintain safe storage areas.

Weekly Stack Stability Inspection Checklist
Use this weekly stack stability inspection checklist to keep warehouse and logistics areas safe and compliant. Inspect pallet and box stacks for correct height and orientation, verify stacks are straight and not overlapping neighboring stacks, and check for visible damage or leaning. Confirm pallet stacks are within allowable height, and assess surrounding conditions including dry, even floors free of cracks and holes. Evaluate pedestrian exposure near stacks and verify controls such as reduced heights, staggered stacks, clear exclusion zones, and barriers or mesh to prevent falls. Capture photos, note locations and bay weights, and record any corrective actions to improve stacking safety and prevent incidents.

Stacking and Storage Checklist
This Stacking and Storage Checklist helps verify safe materials handling in warehouses and production areas. Inspectors can confirm stacker competence, level and load-bearing bases, and that lower tiers can sustain weight. It covers size and mass uniformity, pallet and container condition, and the integrity of support structures. The checklist reinforces safe access with ladders or platforms, removal from the top, immediate dismantling of unstable stacks, protection from mechanical damage, and height limits at three times the base width.

Falling Objects Critical Control Checklist
This falling objects critical control checklist helps mining teams plan and verify controls that prevent dropped objects and injuries. It covers fall-from-heights risks, loading and unloading stability, equipment integrity at height, securing devices such as lanyards, tie-downs, and kick rails, and work area management. Use it to confirm barricading and segregation of drop zones, keep areas clear of loose materials, and ensure tools, fixtures, and loads are rated, stable, and secured before work begins.
