Climbing on racks to retrieve damaged pallets?

I am wondering how other warehouses deal with damaged pallets, or pallets not stacked properly on double deep rack systems, they fall or tilt and Maintenance has to deal with that because they feel is unsafe for regular team members, but we don't really have a procedure, it is just a managers word that he said is ok to climb out of the order picker to restack the pallet we have 4 levels, how do your warehouse deals with these type of problems? Oh management never writes anybody for not checking the condition of the pallet, or for misplacing the pallet.

We use a deep reach truck that will reach in and get the pallets I have a five level racks that are 30ft high so we have beams on level one about 1ft off the ground so reach lifts can get close with out damaging anything

Hi Fredz0003

It is never ok to climb out of the order picker, You should report your manager for this.

I would suggest you speak to higher management

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
