It is a national requirement to have a pallet racking inspection annually at the very least, depending on the size of your operation.
A racking inspection is a crucial part of health and safety in the workplace. They are carried out to ensure warehouse pallet racking is safe to use, highlighting any damages or problems with the racking. If left and not addressed properly these issues could lead to serious harm to your employees or cause damage to goods.
If you’ve noticed some of your racking is damaged, book in a racking inspection as soon as possible to minimise the risk of accidents at work.

How often you have rack inspections depends on factors like the type of racking system, the intensity of usage, and regulatory requirements. It is generally recommended to conduct racking inspections at least once a year, with more frequent inspections for high-traffic areas or heavy-duty rack systems.
Neglecting rack inspections can lead to serious consequences, including workplace accidents, inventory damage or loss, regulatory non-compliance, and potential legal liabilities. Regular inspections help mitigate these risks and ensure the ongoing safety and reliability of your racking system, and your operations too.
