The coroner's concerns
1. lack of awareness of relevant standards
“There was a lack of awareness of the content of the relevant British Standards, European Standards and International Standards as they relate to the stacking of single deck pallets”
2. lack of information on single deck pallets
“The lack of information that is presently passed down the supply chain as to the supply and use of the 'single deck' pallets”
3. stacking of single deck pallets
“Single deck pallets shall not be stacked”
4. lack of labeling for single deck pallets
“Pallets are not currently labelled to indicate whether they should be stacked as a single- deck pallet”
5. absence of standardised identification system
“TIMCOM/The Association of Pallet Networks should consider introducing a standardised system to enable easy identification of single deck pallets”
