Racking Risks Typical of Durham's Industries

Racking here typically supports precision plastics, specialised scientific equipment distribution and light machinery manufacturing.

• In high-volume operations the lower levels and aisle-end frames take most of the knocks, so we check frame protectors, column guards and beam connectors at every run end.
• Manufacturing and engineering stores often hold heavy, awkward or non-standard loads, so we check that load notices match the configuration actually installed.

Your Legal Duty in Durham

Racking counts as work equipment under PUWER 1998. HSE guidance HSG76 and BS EN 15635 expect weekly in-house checks by a Person Responsible for Racking Safety plus at least an annual expert inspection — the part our SARI accredited inspectors deliver in Durham.
