What is a low priority damage?

There are times when a rack shows signs of contact with a pallet or a lifting device, but the damage is not a cause for repair or replacement. Generally speaking, local dents and deformations on a rack column that are smaller than 1/8” deep can be ignored.
Do make sure the welds between the brace and column are holding and in good condition.

⚠️  Low priority = Flag this issue as a WATCH so that it may be assessed again during future inspections.
