Racking system collapses can sometimes lead to personnel suffering major injury or death. Prevention is always better than cure and is less expensive. Periodic rack safety inspections make good business sense.
How often do we need a rack inspection?
The PUWER Regulations (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) states that the inspection period should not exceed 12 months. Risc would recommend more frequent inspections, say, six-monthly where there is a racking/shelving installation within a particularly active operational warehouse.
At least an annual inspection is recommended, however in a busy environment, more frequent inspections may be required, (six monthly or even three monthly) can be carried out by our inspectors on request.
Why choose Teccon
Where there is a high degree of activity in the warehouse, it is important that racking inspections are carried out on a regular basis and an annual inspection by a qualified competent person is essential.
