⚠️ Why Racking Inspections Matter
Racking damage is often invisible until it becomes dangerous.
Regular inspections help you:
- Prevent collapses and injuries
- Stay compliant with safety standards
- Avoid costly downtime and stock loss
- Extend the lifespan of your racking systems
Most racking failures start with forklift impact or overloading—both preventable with routine inspections.
Understanding the Risk Levels
Green – Low Risk
Minor wear or superficial damage that does not affect structural integrity. Continue monitoring and review at the next scheduled inspection.
Amber – Medium Risk
Damage that could worsen over time and impact safety if left unattended. Action required within a defined timeframe; monitor closely.
Red – High Risk
Severe structural damage posing an immediate safety hazard. Immediate action required: offload, isolate, and repair before further use.
