Ensure legal compliance, reduce liability, and prevent costly shutdowns with professional rack inspection services engineered to the highest standards. HITE Engineering provides CSA- and OHSA-compliant inspections, certifications, and engineered reports for industrial racking systems across the Greater Toronto Area and Ontario.
We help property managers, warehouse operators, and manufacturing facilities stay ahead of Ministry of Labour (MOL) stop-work orders, offering complete solutions from inspection to repair.
Racking systems are critical to the storage infrastructure of most industrial facilities, but they also represent a serious safety liability if not regularly inspected and certified. Whether you’re installing new pallet racking or maintaining aging structures, compliance with Ontario safety laws is non-negotiable.
Improperly installed, overloaded, or damaged racking can result in structural failure, serious injuries, and immediate stop-work orders from the Ministry of Labour — leading to significant downtime, legal exposure, and loss of revenue.
At HITE Engineering, we don’t just inspect — we engineer solutions. Our licensed professional engineers provide detailed inspections, load capacity reviews, and stamped reports that meet all provincial and national requirements.
Rack inspections aren’t optional — and they’re not just for new builds. You are legally required to complete a Pre-Start Health and Safety Review (PSR) or inspection under a variety of conditions, including:
