Stacking And Storing Training

Stacking and Storing Training

Course Overview

Sub-standard stacking and storage principles are one of the major contributors to industrial accidents and injuries. Without proper principles being implemented and maintained, storage areas can become serious safety risks within the workplace.

Many companies are also required to stack outside of legal parameters and may need to apply for exemption through the Department of Labour. Without proper knowledge and effective Occupational Health and Safety practices in place, such applications may be denied.

Liderazgo’s Stacking and Storing training equips learners with the knowledge, processes, and practical techniques required to support safer stacking and storage practices within the workplace.
