Safety requirements
The Rack Group has set up a specialist team, headed by Inspections Manager, Mr Ian Robinson, to focus primarily on the safety requirements of clients' pallet racking and devise solutions that take in to full account the other duties warehouse managers have to deal with on a day to day basis.
Prevention - better than a cure
"Prevention is always better than the cure, and is probably less expensive" advises Mr Robinson. "Periodic, rack safety audits makes good business sense and is a critical component of every warehouse's successful planning and operation."
Racking inspection methodology
The Rack Group adheres to a reality based inspection methodology that also acts as a communication tool for warehouse operations staff, occupational health and safety committees and senior management.
"There are many critical factors involved in a Visual Rack Safety Audit, not just the pallet racking itself but factors ranging from pallet rack signage, the way storage equipment is installed, planned and used, to the actual inspection and then rectification and most importantly the reoccurrence of the damage reported," - Ian Robinson
