Working with a WSPS Warehousing & Distribution Safety Consultant

Our experts understand how challenging it can be to keep workers safe in complex environments. We can show you how to control risks in your warehouse to improve your safety performance. In addition to racking system awareness, inspections, and program development, we offer a range of solutions that will help keep your operation safe and productive.

Solutions include:

Steel Storage Rack Technical Awareness & Inspection

Through our Steel Storage Rack Technical Awareness & Inspection, we can help ensure your workers know what to look for when inspecting your steel storage racks. This is a two-part, half-day onsite workshop and inspection from our warehouse technical consultants. In a two-hour awareness session, participants will learn how to spot unsafe practices and the signs of improperly installed racking, overloading and damage caused by lift trucks, all of which can lead to racking collapse and associated losses. Following the awareness session, participants will join our expert on a one-hour inspection of your racks.

WSPS also offers a Warehouse & Distribution Center Inspection and a Traffic Management Consulting Solution to help you understand hazards related to your unique environment. These services include a review of documents, and a tour with pictures and interviews to better understand your safety issues. These services include a report with photos to illustrate your hazards and recommended controls, along with references to current applicable standards.

WSPS specialists will conduct an on-site inspection of workplace conditions, and practices relating to pedestrian and powered mobile equipment traffic, both inside the warehouse and the outside yard. A written report will also be provided that includes pictures to illustrate hazards/controls, and recommendations that are rank-ordered by risk.
