Racking Safety Training
Help your team recognise racking damage, carry out routine visual checks and report concerns appropriately. Training can support your Person Responsible for Racking Safety (PRRS) and wider warehouse safety procedures.
Why Are Racking Inspections Important?
Forklift impacts, unsuitable pallets, incorrect loading and everyday warehouse activity can damage racking. Regular checks help identify concerns early and ensure issues are recorded and addressed appropriately.
HSE guidance, HSG76: Warehousing and Storage, and SEMA guidance support a structured approach to racking safety, including immediate damage reporting, routine internal checks and expert inspections by a technically competent person.
Professional racking inspections can help you:
Identify visible damage and potential safety concerns.
Prioritise remedial actions using clear inspection findings.
Maintain records to support your warehouse safety management.
What Does Your Racking Inspection Include?
Depending on the installation and agreed scope, our inspections assess:
Structural condition: Visible damage to uprights, beams, bracing and connectors.
Floor fixings and protection: Visible concerns affecting base plates, anchors and rack protection.
Loading practices: Apparent loading concerns, pallet condition and load positioning.
Load notices: Presence, legibility and apparent relevance of safe working load information.
Racking configuration: Visible changes or issues that may require further technical review.
Following the inspection, you receive a written report documenting findings, relevant RAG classifications and recommended actions.
Red Risk
Serious damage or a potentially dangerous condition requiring immediate escalation and control of the affected area.
Understanding the RAG System
Amber Risk
Damage requiring remedial action within the applicable timescale and in accordance with SEMA guidance.
Green Risk
Damage within the relevant SEMA limits for that category, which should still be recorded and monitored.
RAG classifications must be based on the applicable criteria and a competent assessment. Any damage should be managed in accordance with the inspection findings and appropriate technical advice.
