How often should racks be inspected?
OSHA and ANSI guidelines recommend that pallet racks be inspected at least once a year by a qualified inspector, with additional informal checks performed daily or weekly by trained warehouse staff. High-traffic facilities or those that have experienced forklift impacts should increase formal inspection frequency.
