Jonathan Hirst P.Eng.

Once regarded as purely industrial infrastructure, pallet racking is now a critical component of modern facilities—governed by building codes, Occupational Health & Safety regulations, and increasingly visible in public environments such as big‑box retail stores.

Pallet racking has emerged from behind factory walls into our everyday lives, bringing with it important safety and compliance responsibilities. Jonathan Hirst, P.Eng., of North American Storage Equipment, brings over 15 years of experience in pallet racking design and manufacturing.

In this Safety Scoop session, Jonathan will explore the key considerations for owning and operating facilities that utilize pallet racking systems. Through real‑world examples and practical guidance, attendees will gain valuable insight into maintaining compliance with local codes while fostering a safe and efficient work environment.
