Scope:

The purpose of this Guide, used in conjunction with CSA B335, is to establish the requirements for a safe environment where steel storage racks and lift trucks are the primary equipment of the workplace. In referencing this Guide, the users of steel storage racks will become aware of the considerations required to ensure that their rack installation meets the conditions of the work environment and user expectations.

Project need:

To develop an new edition of the A344 User guide for steel storage racks with the most up-to-date information. The A344 Guide is part of several industrial training programs. As such, it is being used in the design, operation, and maintenance of hundreds of storage facilities across Canada. It is and will continue to play an important role in protecting workers in these workplaces.
