Rack Safety Inspections ensuring the safety of your personnel
In order to maintain the integrity of your racking and compliance with Australian Standard AS4084-2023, it is imperative that you undertake a rack safety inspection and check for any damage at least once every 12 months.
Bowen Storage provides detailed site inspections, comprehensive reporting, and expert advice regarding safe storage practices in order to comply with your State’s current Worksafe and WHS regulations.
Our trained safety inspectors will also provide recommendations around warehouse safety accessories and how to improve the overall safety of your facility.
Services
Visual Site Inspection
Our inspectors will carry out thorough Rack Safety Inspections of all racking systems onsite.
All damage, missing fasteners, clips, or safety mechanisms that may alter the integrity of the structure will be detailed and recorded in the Rack Safety Inspection Report.
A visual check of all safety signs and load capacity tags will also be carried out to ensure they comply with the current configuration of the racking.
Compliance Reporting
Using information from the onsite inspection we will prepare a detailed Rack Safety Inspection Report which records the inspection date and any observations made.
This detailed report lists any repair works that need to be carried out to ensure the racking meets Australian Standard AS4084-2023.
Repairs & Ongoing Compliance
Damaged racking components need to be repaired or replaced ASAP to eliminate possible accidents, and keep warehouses running efficiently.
All pallet racking should be inspected every 12 months. Our rack safety team will provide regular, comprehensive inspections and reports to ensure you comply with current standards and WHS requirements.
