Stacking Safety Do’s & Don’ts

In the May OHS Insider, the article on Stacking Safety Do’s and Don’ts, I would like to get some more insight/clarification on “Don’t stack the material within 450mm of a wall – maintaining the clearance will allow for inspection.”  Where does this come from and/or where can I look this up to get more info.  I have a couple of areas in our warehouse that could be impacted by this and would like to do some more investigation into it.

Yeah, that’s a good question. I went back to my research notes and I believe the 450 mm DO is based on best practice rather than regulatory standards. I’m trying to determine the source of that exact item. Meantime, just to be sure, can you let me know which jurisdiction and which sector you’re in so I can look up the applicable OHS regulations. Thanks. Glenn
