　　The safety knowledge of shelves is essential for every user to understand how to safely use them in daily use in order to avoid safety issues with shelves. Many employees in enterprises have caused problems with shelves due to their lack of attention to details when using them, resulting in huge losses for the company. Below are some tips on safe use of shelves compiled by the editor.

　　1. Preventing shelf overloading is a fundamental issue, as any goods stored on a shelf cannot exceed the maximum load-bearing capacity of the shelf. Overweight can cause great damage to shelves, which is likely to lead to the collapse of shelves and bring huge losses to enterprises.

　　2. To prevent excessive height, manufacturers will design shelves with appropriate height based on the information of the enterprise. Once the height of the shelves exceeds the limit, unstable situations may occur when storing goods.

　　3. When operating equipment such as forklifts, it is necessary to be careful not to hit the shelves, as the weight of forklifts is large and once they hit the shelves, it will cause a certain degree of damage to the shelves. If there is a collision, it is necessary to check in a timely manner to see if there is a problem.

　　4. Damaged or problematic beams and columns should be replaced in a timely manner. Although a series of treatments are required during the manufacturing of shelves, rust and oxidation cannot be avoided. Therefore, personnel need to be arranged for inspection every period of use, and if any rusted or damaged parts are found, they should be replaced in a timely manner.
