Working at height is an inherent risk in many industries, and this risk
is significantly amplified in environments involving Automated
Storage and Racking Systems. These systems, integral to the
operations of warehouses and distribution centers, are designed
to maximise storage efficiency and facilitate the rapid retrieval of
goods. Their tall and complex structures present unique safety
challenges for workers, especially when tasks require elevation.
Given the potential hazards, including the risk of falls, falling objects,
and interactions with automated machinery, it is imperative
to implement stringent safety measures.
This document outlines the essential strategies and best practices
to ensure the safety of personnel working at height within
Automated Storage and Racking Systems environments.
By adhering to these guidelines, organisations can mitigate risks,
protect their workforce, and maintain efficient operations without
compromising safety.
