Canadian regulations require pre-start safety inspections before placing new or significantly modified warehouse racking systems into service. These mandatory inspections verify that installations meet manufacturer specifications, building codes, and workplace safety standards. Operating racking systems without proper pre-start certification creates serious legal exposure and puts your whole business at unnecessary risk.
Understanding Pre Start Inspection Requirements in Canada
Provincial occupational health and safety regulations establish clear requirements for pre-start safety inspections of industrial racking systems. These regulations protect workers from catastrophic failures caused by improper racking installation or inadequate design. Understanding when inspections are mandatory helps you maintain compliance and avoid costly violations.
Pre start safety inspections become legally required in specific situations:
- New System Installations: Any newly installed pallet racking, cantilever racking, or industrial storage system requires pre start inspection before use
- Relocated Equipment: Racking systems moved from one facility to another or repositioned within the same building needs fresh certification
- Major Modifications: Significant changes to existing racking systems including height increases, capacity upgrades, or configuration alterations trigger inspection requirements
- Change of Use: Converting racking to store different type of inventory with different loading characteristics requires proper verification that the system remains adequate
What Triggers a Pre Start Inspection Requirement
Most of the warehouse managers struggle to understand exactly when pre-start inspections become mandatory. Minor adjustments typically do not require formal inspections, but significant changes do. Racked Out helps you determine whether your project requires pre-start certification based on scope and regulatory requirements.
These common scenarios require pre-start safety inspections:
- Complete new installations in warehouses that previously had no racking or are adding entirely new storage areas
- System relocations where racking is dismantled, moved, and reinstalled in different facilities or new locations within existing buildings
- Capacity modifications that increase beam levels, change upright heights, or alter rated load capacities beyond original specifications
- Configuration changes that modify aisle widths, bay spacing, or structural bracing patterns affecting system stability
- Major repairs following significant damage that required the replacement of primary structural components, like uprights or multiple beams
