Rack Inspection & Maintenance
Under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and The Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) every employer has the responsibility to ensure a safe place of work for their employees.
This includes ensuring that racking and storage systems are in a safe condition at all times.
Racking systems are load-bearing structures and as such may not perform to the manufacturer’s specifications in the event of:
- Damage caused by fork lift trucks
- Damage caused by over-loading
- Change in load capacity following alteration to the quantity and height of beam levels
- Incorrect design or installation
We recognise that installing a racking system only meets part of our customer’s needs, so we are committed to ensure that the system remains a safe place of work in accordance with HSE Regulations.
Our service includes:
- Formal inspection at agreed intervals
- A comprehensive report and maintenance programme
- Advice and recommendation on ways to minimise further damage
- Provide load capacity signage, to help reduce the risk of damage caused by over-loading
- Technical advice and calculation of load capacities on any new or previous alterations to existing racking systems
