Training
Provided by Technical Presentations
"Safe Stacking and Storage" is for all workers who are responsible for storing and stacking materials. Workers will learn to build a safe stack while considering shape, weight, packaging strength, contents, and proper clearances. The course explains the dangers associated with improper clearances and explains how reliable information can be obtained for a material's safe stacking and storage requirements. After successful completion of the course, workers will also be able to explain the dangers of improper storage and to identify hazardous contents. Delivery formats include CD-ROM, LAN, WAN, Intranet, Internet. The course can be customized to meet your site-specific needs. It is currently available in English, but other language tracks can be added.
