Pallet racking safety inspections are essential to the safe day
to day running of any warehouse.
The frequency of these inspections is determined by risk
assessments and the levels of activity within the warehouse. There are two
types of inspections; internal and external. Internal inspections must be
carried out by trained and competent personnel who have been appointed by the
PRSES (person responsible for storage equipment safety). External inspections
must be carried out by an expert in storage equipment safety on an annual basis
as specified by the European Standard EN15365. Our inspectors have many years of experience
and a vast array of knowledge within this area.
In addition to the EN standards the Health and Safety at
Work Act 1974 outlines the duties imposed on employers to provide a safe place
of work. Industrial storage equipment is
classed as work equipment and therefore falls under the Provision and Use of
Work Equipment Regulations. This state’s
“Work equipment that is exposed to conditions causing deterioration liable to
result in dangerous situations must be inspected to ensure that health and
safety conditions are maintained, and that any deterioration can be detected
and remedied in goods time”.
The Rack Group’s inspection process is designed to be easy
and very user friendly and assists the PRSES in
their duties. As we use the
latest digital pen technology we provide the customer with both a digital and
hard copy of the completed inspection report which is written in a straight
forward, non complicated manner. It is designed to aid the communication
process between all parties thus insuring they can effectively work together to
create a safe working environment.
Within the inspection report, the inspector will outline all
essential repair work plus any potential hazards. Recommendations are then made
in order to resolve any issues identified.
The Rack Group’s main priority is to develop a proactive
safety management process which will result in less damage occurring. However, should damage occur we can repair
the damage in a cost effective manner with as little disruption to the customer
as possible using our specialist equipment.
