How safe is your racking?

Warehouse operations can result in wear and tear to racking which may render it unsafe. Operating with damaged racking increases the risk of damaging products and materials and also accidents to employees.

Inspecting your racking and shelving is required under current Health and Safety legislation.  

 

SSI Schaefer says its racking and shelving should last a lifetime – providing it is properly maintained. It offers an affordable maintenance programme. Certified racking inspectors will visit and conduct rack safety training, advising on a schedule of inspections. Their recommendations will include costings for repair work and advice on reducing further damage. 

 

Schaefer manages and effects any repairs necessary and ensures full Health & Safety and PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) compliance. As a SEMA member, the company works to develop and influence both national and European Codes of Practice.

 

Gari Courtney, Senior Technician from Teva UK Limited, a global pharmaceutical company says: “Schaefer always provide a very professional examination and report of our high bay racking. We feel extremely confident that our needs are met and that the safety of our equipment is in good hands.”
