What are the Australian standards for racking protection and safety?

The Australian standards for racking protection and safety are outlined in AS 4084.1:2023 & AS 4084.2:2023, which is the primary guideline for the design, operation, and maintenance of steel storage racking systems. These standards aim to minimise risks associated with warehouse storage, ensuring the safety of workers and the integrity of stock. Key aspects of the standards include regular inspections, proper load management, and the use of appropriate protection equipment such as rack guards, bollards, and end protectors. By adhering to AS 4084.1:2023 & AS 4084.2:2023, businesses can maintain a secure and efficient warehouse environment, reducing the likelihood of accidents, damage, and downtime.
