Health and Safety legislation regards adjustable pallet racking as workplace equipment that requires an inspection at least once a year by a “Technically Competent Person”.
The HSE Executive advise 3 levels of inspection and reporting:
Any failure to adhere to these legislative requirements can have significant ramifications on an organisation including invalidating insurance, fines of up to £20m and, in some cases, imprisonment.
As the pressures on SMEs continue to grow, we believe that many small and medium sized businesses would benefit from the support Acerax are able to provide.
Section 642 To ensure that a racking installation continues to be serviceable and safe, the storage equipment should be inspected on a regular basis. The frequency of inspections depends on a variety of factors that are particular to the site concerned and should be determined by a nominated ‘person responsible for racking safety’ (PRRS) to suit the operating conditions of the warehouse. This will take into account the frequency and method of operation together with the dimensions of the warehouse, the equipment used and personnel involved, all of which could damage the structure. The inspection follows a hierarchical approach using several levels of inspection.
Section 646 ‘Expert’ inspections A technically competent person should carry out inspections at intervals of not more than 12 months. A written report should be submitted to the PRRS with observations and proposals for any action necessary.
Section 647 A technically competent person might be a trained specialist within an organisation, a specialist from the rack supplier, or an independent qualified rack inspector.
