Racking Risks Typical of Newtownards's Industries
Every Newtownards inspection covers the whole installation, with particular attention to the following.
- 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.
- Load notices are compared with the beam levels actually installed, because levels moved since installation change the safe working load.

Your Legal Duty in Newtownards
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 Newtownards. Any red-risk findings at a Newtownards site are flagged before we leave, so the affected bays can be offloaded straight away.
