After-Impact Inspections: The Procedure Every Site Needs

The struck bay must be offloaded immediately and isolated with barrier tape. No further pallets are placed until an inspection has confirmed the racking is safe.

A trained PRRS or SARI inspects the upright, baseplate, beams and bracing against the EN 15635 tolerances. Findings are recorded in writing with photographs.

Red faults require offload-and-replace before the bay returns to service. Green faults can be monitored. Amber faults must be repaired within four weeks. Every step is documented for HSE evidence.
