German term or phrase: Staffel (staffeln, Holzstaffel)
Beim Staffel legen beim LKW-beladen nur hinter dem Stapler herumgehen.

Das Besteigen von Holzstaffeln ist verboten – sie sind keine Aufstiegshilfe oder Arbeitsflächenerhöhung!

Auf Reinlichkeit ist zu achten, es sollen keine Staffel und Winkel sowie Stahlbänder, welche nur mit Arbeitshandschuhen angefasst werden dürfen, herumliegen.

STAFFELNORM / LAGERUNG

die unterschiedlichen Staffellängen an den Staffelenden sind farblich zu kennzeichnen

Beim Staffellegen ist auf eine ausreichende Anzahl zu achten.

Bei mehreren Lagen müssen die Staffeln genau übereinandergelegt werden.

On second thought, I assumed it meant stacking boards or planks but I am not familiar with that term and I have nothing to back up that idea..
