Page one of the Warehouse and Operations Earthquake Readiness Checklist: a Before the drill list covering rack inspection, load limits, securing top-heavy storage, exits, assembly point and role assignments; a During shaking section with Drop, Cover, Hold On plus instructions for forklift operators, people working at height and drivers; and an After shaking list for the first 60 minutes, from headcount and gas checks to keeping everyone out of rack aisles until they are inspected.
