Hi ZZJASEZZ,

Your meassage to management should be:
1. From 25 feet a bottle or box of bottles will be travelling at 40 km/h when it hits a person in the head;
2. From 30 feet a bottle or box of bottles will be travelling at 45 km/h when it hits a person in the head - in both these cases it could cause death!
3. A 1" clearance dramatically slows the speed at which pallets can be placed and removed from racking, thereby reducing forklift producrivity dramatically and increasing costs. with a 150 mm clearance a FL driver can drive in in one fluid movement;
4. The damage resulting from such a low clearance adds to costs and reduces profits; and
5. If there is an incident and someone is injured as a result of the less than safe clearance HSE will prosecute them heavily for failing to ptovide a safe system of work.
