What Precautions Can Be Taken Against Earthquakes in Industrial Shelving Systems?
Industrial shelving systems can be damaged during an earthquake, which can cause product damage and even occupational safety problems. Precautions that can be taken in terms of earthquakes may include: Shelving systems to be installed in earthquake zones must be equipped with special design and durability features. In this way, damage during an earthquake can be reduced and occupational safety risks can be minimized. Here are some factors to consider for shelving systems to be installed in earthquake zones:
Sufficient durability: Focusing on the durability of shelving systems is important to minimize damage during an earthquake. Therefore, when selecting shelving systems, it should be ensured that they have passed durability tests, quality materials have been used and have a strong structure.
Installation of shelving systems: Proper installation of industrial shelving systems can help reduce damage during an earthquake. The installation must be done with the right dimensions and properly. Shelving systems must be firmly fixed to the walls, floor or ceiling.
Regular maintenance: Racking systems require regular maintenance and repair. Therefore, a maintenance plan should be prepared and racking systems should be regularly checked and repaired if necessary.
Special design for racking systems: Some industrial racking systems require special design during earthquakes. There are racking systems specifically designed for facilities in earthquake zones. These systems are designed to minimize damage during earthquakes.
Earthquake sensors: Earthquake sensors can create alert systems to alert workers by monitoring the movement of racking systems during earthquakes.
Training: It is important for workers to know what to do during earthquakes. Earthquake training can help them learn precautions designed to protect workers and facilities during earthquakes.
