Racking Sites Across Workington

Inspection Priorities for Workington Sites
Based on the work carried out in Workington, these are the points our inspectors check most closely.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bracing members are inspected for bends and loose bolts, which weaken a frame long before damage looks serious.

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 Workington. If your insurer or a customer asks for proof of inspection, the Workington report is the document to show them.
