Racking Risks Typical of Gainsborough's Industries
Every Gainsborough inspection covers the whole installation, with particular attention to the following.
- Raw material, component and work-in-progress storage is prone to overloading and to beams being moved without the load rating being rechecked — both are recorded if found.
- Load notices are compared with the beam levels actually installed, because levels moved since installation change the safe working load.
