forklifts can be liable to collapse.
Good to Go Safety has developed a quick, simple and affordable solution to racking inspections.
Annual PUWER compliant inspec - tions provide a detailed snapshot of a moment in time and can identify potential problems; however the very next day a forklift collision could create structural weakness and go unchecked until the following year.
Good to Go Safety significantly reduces the risk of collapse by encouraging employees to regularly check for any unreported damage to the structure, as well as checking for stability of loads and general housekeeping.
A checklist is completed and inserted into a tag on the end bay. If no faults are found it will clearly state that it's Good to Go. If a fault is found, the tag displays a Do Not Use message, effectively quarantining the aisle until the fault is rectified.
