- Storage racks must be properly anchored to the floor, with permissible unit loads posted.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends that the bottom of all columns be furnished with column base plates and be anchored to the floor with anchor bolts capable of resisting the forces caused by the loads on the rack.
OSHA recommends that load ratings be present that provide, at a minimum, the maximum permissible unit load and/or maximum uniformly distributed load per level, the average unit load, and maximum total load per bay.
