A periodic inspection checklist for warehouse safety officers and rack inspection personnel assessing the structural condition of pallet racking systems. Covers upright frame condition, beam connection integrity, bracing and anchoring, base plate and floor bolt condition, load capacity signage, damage severity assessment, and safety clip verification — the inspection that prevents rack collapse.

Pallet rack collapse is one of the most catastrophic warehouse incidents — crushing workers, destroying inventory, and potentially triggering a domino-effect failure across multiple bays. Damage from forklift impacts is the primary cause, and it accumulates over time. Regular inspections catch damage early, when repair or replacement is still manageable.
