Must be Rocket Science :-(

The management in this branch of the company leaves much to be desired in the safety and hazard knowlege. ANYONE WILLING TO PURSUE THIS IS WELCOME TO EMAIL. Another attempt to fix it half way. These boxes weigh aprox 250lbs each and are 6ft long by 3ft high with no interlocking mechanism to hold them in place, no banding or stablizing ability at all.They just don't get it. If you have kids you know as well as I do that a box makes the best fort or whatever there minds can think of, doesn't it make sense that you would not only post the safety hazards of this area but cordon or fence it off? if not for your own safety at least for the safety of the children.
Factors that Affect Stacking Height
Having said all of that, and being a consultant, my answer to the question about safe stacking height has to be, "It depends." To determine a safe height, you need to address these questions:

What are you stacking?
What kind of container is it in?
What is the gross weight of the package?
How many packages can be stacked on top of one another before the bottom fails?
What is the loading capacity of the floor? The deck? The shelving?
What are the temperature and humidity conditions for storage?
How will these conditions affect the packaging? The product?
You also need to consider safety and ergonomic issues:

How will the package be handled - by hand or with equipment?
Will the stack have to be broken down by hand?
If so, will the employee have to reach overhead? Repeatedly?
If a package falls from a height, how hazardous is it if it hits an employee on the head, the shoulder? With or without a hard hat?
1. OSHA's standard 1917.14 states that: "Cargo, pallets and other material stored in tiers shall be stacked in such a manner as to provide stability against sliding and collapse." I assume that this includes the public who does not usually walk around with a hard hat on.You know and I wonder were all the fertilizer left in these boxes goes when the rain and snow seeps out so close to the groundwater???

People shouldn't be going on the damn property in the first place. And if the parents knew what their kids were doing they wouldn't have to worry. This guy has nothing better to do but look for shit to complain about. Go hug a tree!
