Red, Amber and Green Racking Damage Explained
Rackstor UK Ltd
Green risk — record and monitor
Minor damage within EN 15635 tolerances. No immediate action required, but the location must be recorded and re-checked at the next weekly PRRS inspection.
Amber risk — repair within 4 weeks
Damage exceeds green tolerances but the component is still safe to use. The damaged part must be offloaded, isolated and replaced within four weeks of the inspection.
Red risk — offload immediately
Damage is severe enough that the component cannot safely carry load. The bay must be offloaded immediately and isolated until repair is complete.
Ignoring a red-risk fault is the single most common factor in racking collapses investigated by HSE.
