Safe Stacking On Site

Introduction: Unsafe stacking can cause injuries as a result of collapse, or when materials have to be collected from stacks. In contrast, safe stacking not only reduces risk, but also enhances site efficiency.

Main points:
• Only stack materials in designated areas ensuring that escape routes, doorways etc, are not obstructed.
• Stack on level, firm surfaces, use packing where appropriate, and never stack materials higher than three times the base width.
• Make sure you wear suitable protective clothing such as gloves and safety boots, and use handling accessories as appropriate.

Discussion points:
• Use machinery where possible eliminating the need for manual handling. Where manual handling is unavoidable, carry out an assessment.
• Stack small pipes in racks, whilst large diameter pipes must be securely chocked at the base.
• Do not stack pipes in pyramids – they are not sufficiently stable.
• Large concrete rings must be laid flat so they cannot roll.
• Small sized timbers should be stacked in racks.
• Bearers should be used for larger timbers and joists – use cross packing to keep level.
• Where possible keep different length timbers in different stacks.
• Large prefabricated panels should be stacked flat or in suitable racks – they should never be leant against temporary structures, parts of buildings, or where the wind could affect them.
• Store bricks/blocks/palleted materials on level surfaces and ensure heights are controlled
– only stack two packs high, and place upper stacks squarely on lower stacks.
• If banding is damaged or materials are displaced then do not stack other materials on top
– where necessary make lower stacks safe.
