Rack damage could result in a collapse if allowed to accumulate. The risk of collapse can be minimised by regular damage racking inspection and reporting followed by prompt repair. Internal weekly/monthly damage assessments can be carried out by suitably trained employees working to a formal inspection programme. These in-house seminars are designed to empower your staff to carry out these checks, which should be complimented by a formal annual external pallet racking safety inspection.

What will you gain?
When racking inspections aren't carried out and racking becomes damaged by fork lift truck impact, prompt reporting of damage and prompt repair is essential as damage could result in a collapse if allowed to accumulate.
This in-house training programme is designed to empower suitably qualified maintenance personnel to carry out simple basic maintenance to damaged racking.
It must be borne in mind that racking is a load-bearing structure and correct maintenance is imperative to maintain the integrity and stability of the structure. It is also suggested that more extensive refurbishment and remedial work is left to professional installation crews.
This Rack Maintenance Training illustrates safe methods for replacement of damaged racking components and shows the most common types of damage. The course also discusses the skills needed by operatives tasked with the maintenance of racking, what is permissible and where to "draw the line" it also briefly discusses the potential insurance and legal issues.
Who should attend?
We can provide Operator Training on a wide range of powered access equipment including:
Most courses are single day duration and can be carried out on your own site if required (subject to facilities). All training is carried out to standards by qualified instructors and will include:
The prime concern must be the safe operation of any MEWP (Mobile elevating work platform) and the safety of operatives and of other persons working in immediate or adjacent areas. Machines must be operated within the recommended limits and according to the manufacturers instructions. Machines must be maintained and operated correctly and must not be misused, overloaded or interfered with in any way.
As "Lifting Equipment", all MEWPs fall under PUWER & LOLER legislation.
All personnel should be adequately trained in the use of any PPE required for the safe operation of their work. Use of a safety harness may not prevent a fall from height, but correct training in the selection, adjustment, use and maintenance of Harness and Lanyard could reduce the consequences of such a fall.

Nearly half of all over-three-day injuries in the UK workplace, result from manual handling accidents. Correct manual handling techniques help reduce or prevent such injuries.
