Racking Safety Training

With our Racking Safety Training we can help your organisation adhere to the The Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) recommendations. The SEMA recommendations state that your racking is inspected regularly, frequently. This should all be done competently by your appointed (PRRS) Person Responsible for Racking Safety to ensure that all risks can be identified and assessed.

Such inspections should be undertaken weekly but their frequency can be based on factors such as the amount of damage and seriousness.

The course is designed to make either your new to or present (PRRS) aware of how to assess damage under the green, amber, red coding of all components within the racking structure and how each component works in making it safe to use during operations.

Other aspects include legislation, safe working clearances, rack protection, post installation inspections (what to look out for), the importance of load notices and specific design criteria to be achieved.

This course equips your internal maintenance team with essential knowledge on racking safety. It delivers this through both classroom sessions and practical demonstrations, teaching how to perform minor repairs and maintenance. As a result, your Person Responsible for Racking Safety (PRRS) can identify damage within your operation, rather than relying on an external Racking Inspector during an annual audit. Furthermore, this enables your team to conduct interim inspections, ensuring a safe working environment in line with the H&S guide HSG76.

A certificate will be issued upon completion of the course.
