What can the Rack Aid Package do for you? Are you sure you know the law?

The Rack Group is here to provide you with everything required to meet European standards 15635, regarding the application and maintenance of storage equipment. The Rack Aid Package contains the 5 key elements which The Rack Group can offer to keep you safely within the law. We also know that when damage and accidents occur in a warehouse, it is fundamental to get it repaired and the operation of the warehouse running smoothly again.


Section 9 of the EN15635 states a management procedure shall exist that covers the following:
                       
A)     Use the storage system in accordance with its specification;  
B)     Appoint a person responsible for storage equipment safety (PRSES)
C)     Carry out inspections
D)     Carry out maintenance
E)      Damage Reduction.

This is why the Rack Aid Package covers:

1- Safety Inspections
Our competent team of inspectors are able to carry out inspections and leave you a hard copy when they leave. Our data pen technology means we can automatically provide a quote for what we find when carrying out the inspection within one week. If you join our full package, we will also be able to keep our record of your racking which means we are able to react quickly if a repair is needed.

2- Planned Maintenance
Using the whole package means we are able to keep a record of what you need and what racking you have. This means any maintenance we do can be achieved quickly without any hassle. It’s easier and safer for everybody concerned if maintenance is proactive and not reactive.

3- Specialist Equipment
Again, the idea is simple. Using the full package means when a repair is necessary, The Rack Group will already be aware of your existing racking and how your company works. We can keep stock of your racking on your behalf which means our specialist equipment to repair an upright can be organised and used as quickly as possible.

4- Racking Protection
Our partner company ‘Rack Armour’ are the specialists in warehouse protection. The Rack Armour upright protector is able to reduce warehouse damage by up to 80%. Rack Armour is also able to offer a wide range of barriers for either end of aisle protection or to create bespoke parameters and protection areas.

5- Training
Rack Training is another partner company of The Rack Group. Rack Training is here to make sure that you and your staff are properly trained and knowledgeable about pallet racking. As part of EN15635 guidelines is to have a person responsible for storage equipment safety, Rack Training are able to provide the information and qualification to make somebody in your company that person by providing them with the knowledge and confidence to carry out the duties of that role. Rack Training can also provide a number of different courses concerning pallet racking and health and safety.

The Rack Group want you to know the law. Make sure your warehouse is running the way it should be; safely.

RACK TRAINING NOW ONLINE!!!

Ever thought that pallet racking training would be easier if it were available online? That’s what we thought at Rack Training and we've made it happen!
Here at Rack Training, our classroom and on site courses are something we are very proud of. We are able to deliver a high quality teaching through use of our vast knowledge and experience. With a balance of classroom teaching and hands on practical explanations we are able to deliver the information you need to pass our courses. However, an online setting also offers a number of benefits that a classroom cannot provide whilst still providing the same high standard of learning.

Rack Training’s E-Learning is able to offer a range of online classes which are presented to the pupil on screen. Being able to provide this allows for staff to complete all courses within a convenient location.

Whether the course is for yourself or your employees, the benefit of being able to complete the course in a time and place that suits you is one that stands out as it prevents disruption from work and any last minute changes cause less stress as there is no commitment to when the course takes place.

In conjunction with this, the E-learning course takes away the pressures from classroom learning. Modules are completed at the pace of the user as they are the ones in control, if something is not understood, you can go back and check it. This is something that we wanted to make fundamental to the online courses; therefore, we have put a lot of time in making the software easy to use and simple to understand. In turn, the goal of focusing on the course and being able to pass can be easily achieved. Don’t worry though, if the pass level isn’t met, the quiz style tests which occur throughout the process can be re taken again and again until the minimum target is reached, giving the user a relaxing yet rewarding experience.

Another benefit of Rack Training’s E-learning course is the ability to offer a standardisation of learning and knowledge through a uniformed message. This ensures your team has the same level of proficient knowledge on board with them whilst they carry out their duties.

Upon completion of the course, you will receive a completion certificate in the chosen field, this is given as a printable PDF which can be archived and saved. The first course, available now, focuses on ‘Pallet Racking Safety Awareness’ aimed at those new to warehouse environments and pallet racking in general. In the near future we will be adding to our online course library turning all our industry leading classroom based courses into an E-Learning equivalent
