Racking Inspections

Compliance with workplace health and safety is paramount and with racking presenting a 'significant risk', the potential failure of racking structures can have an enormous impact on a warehousing operation. FTA, in conjuction with Storage Equipment Safety Service (SESS), can help your operation in ensuring compliance and minimising risks through a Racking Inspection Service, designed to fully examine the structure and functionality of your warehouse racking. FTA has received UKAS accreditation for its Racking Inspections.

You will benefit from

  • assurance that you are operating your equipment in the safest possible manner
  • peace of mind that you are minimising risks and addressing your corporate obligations
  • confidence that you are using your space efficiently and cost effectively
  • reduced risk of endangering human life through safety inspections
  • compliance with your workplace health and safety requirements
  • clear concise computer printed report, listing any defects and providing advice on the severity of these defects
  • a plan diagram (using special purpose software) highlighting defective areas using colour coded markings
  • advice and guidance on future maintenance issues and reducing future wear and tear

What does a typical inspection cover?

  • Full visual and operational inspection of the racking, including the following:
    • uprights
    • floor fixings
    • beams
    • beam end connector locks
    • frame bracing
    • column guards
    • safety notices
  • In addition to the above, the inspection also covers items which may affect the safe use of racking, including lighting levels, floor condition, housekeeping and poorly placed/damaged pallets
