Work related incidents within the storage and warehouse industry remain a major issue, with the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) reporting thousands of accidents each year – prevent and reduce racking related incidents with SEMA approved inspections from Brysdales.
It’s a widely known fact that health and safety in warehouses is of vital importance for the wellbeing of employees, operational efficiency and legal compliance.
Thousands of serious accidents happen in warehouse environments each year, with the most common injuries arising from slips, trips and falls, incorrect goods handling and incidents involving machinery and vehicles.
Injuries can also result from badly maintained or damaged racking systems as a result of corrosion, missing footplates and compromised welds.
Similarly, all it takes is a few careless strikes from a forklift truck to dent or bend beams or struts, which will affect the load-bearing and structural ability of the racking or shelving.
In order to prevent damaged racking from collapsing and causing serious injury in the workplace, legislation dictates that racking and shelving inspections should be carried out annually and in some instances every six months.
To comply with health and safety regulations, inspections must be carried out by a technically qualified rack inspector so any damage can be categorised in accordance with SEMA codes of practice.
