Racking Risks Typical of Ashford's Industries
Based on the work carried out in Ashford, these are the points our inspectors check most closely.
- High-throughput logistics means constant forklift traffic, so impact damage to uprights, bent beams and missing beam locks are the findings we look for first.
- Load notices are compared with the beam levels actually installed, because levels moved since installation change the safe working load.
Your Legal Duty in Ashford
PUWER 1998 requires racking to be maintained in a safe condition and inspected by a competent person, and HSE guidance HSG76 recommends an expert inspection at least every 12 months. Our Ashford reports follow BS EN 15635 and the SEMA Code of Practice, so the record stands up if the HSE or your insurer asks for it. If your insurer or a customer asks for proof of inspection, the Ashford report is the document to show them.
