Pallet safety & reuse
Wooden Pallet Safety and Reuse Guides
A pallet should suit the load, equipment and workplace in which it is used. Reuse requires attention to condition and history, while DIY projects need a separate assessment of material and finished design. An HT mark is a plant-health treatment code, not a furniture-safety certificate. Read the relevant guide and use appropriate competent advice where the application needs it.
