There is a slight risk here of the wooden case damaging the pallet by tipping. The case is secured at floor level against sideways shifting, since pallet bottom and case bottom lie at the same level and virtually touch. However, there is a risk for the pallet cargo because the cartons are lying down and no account has been taken of the handling symbols.

If this pallet is positioned in front of the bracing shown above, the case cannot have a damaging effect on the cartons on the pallet.
Alternatively, it would have been possible to dispense with the bracing behind the pallet and to fit some narrow beams (2) between case and pallet:
