Pallet Racking Inspection Edmonton
Edmonton features heavy recycling food distribution and light engineering along the A406 North Circular requiring annual safety checks. Rackstor's inspectors are SARI accredited, and in Edmonton we report on uprights, beams, bracing, baseplates, locks and load notices as a matter of course.
Racking Sites Across Edmonton
Industrial and storage activity in Edmonton includes Eley Industrial Estate, Montagu Industrial Estate and Nobel Road. We inspect racking on these sites and at any other business premises in the area. We aim to send the Edmonton inspection report within 48 hours, covering every bay inspected and any repairs needed.
Racking Risks Typical of Edmonton's Industries
On a typical Edmonton visit, these are the issues we expect to examine in detail.
- 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.
- Manufacturing and engineering stores often hold heavy, awkward or non-standard loads, so we check that load notices match the configuration actually installed.
- Beam connectors and safety locks are checked bay by bay, since a single missing lock can let a beam lift out.
Your Legal Duty in Edmonton
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 Edmonton. Between expert visits, a trained Person Responsible for Racking Safety should carry out regular checks at your Edmonton site.
