OSHA 29 CFR 1910.176(b)

A forklift clipped an upright on second shift and the bay kept getting loaded.

Nobody wrote it up. The damage is at knee height on a column three rows deep, the aisle has been loaded twice a day since, and the only person who saw it happen works nights.

What OSHA 29 CFR 1910.176(b) actually says
✓ Required
Storage of material shall not create a hazard. Material stored in tiers is stacked, blocked, interlocked and limited in height so that it is stable and secure against sliding or collapse.
✕ Not required
An inspection, a frequency, or a record of any kind. 1910.176(b) names a condition your racking has to be in — it does not name a schedule or a form. Vendors sell "OSHA-required annual rack inspections." OSHA requires no such thing. It requires that the rack not collapse, which is a harder standard, not an easier one.
