Racking Risks Typical of Trafford Park's Industries
Racking in Trafford Park is inspected bay by bay; these are the areas that usually need the most care.
- Busy pick faces and fast pallet turnover put the front uprights of every run at risk from truck strikes; we measure each dent and bow against the tolerance rather than estimating it.
- Heavy parts and irregular stock put strain on beams, so we check deflection against the Span/200 limit and confirm pallets are sitting correctly on the beam line.
- Frames are checked for out-of-plumb against the BS EN 15635 limit, measured rather than judged by eye.

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