Determining The Safety Of Your Racking System

Pallet Racking usually sits in a busy and potentially hazardous environment. You have many safety responsibilities under the new Australian Standards. Regular scheduled inspections are required to make sure your pallet racking is safe and conforms to the new Australian Standards and local OH & S requirements.

Annual audits and inspections are extremely important to ensuring that your racking is safe and in a good working condition. SPACERACK’s professional team of auditors are able to conduct racking safety inspections that ask important questions to ensure that no hazard is overlooked. We then grade the severity of the damage and classify it with a coloured labeling system.

Red

Very serious damage that should be attended to immediately.

Orange

Hazardous damage that requires repair as soon as possible.

Green

Acceptable damage that doesn’t need immediate attention but should be frequently monitored.

Asking The Important Questions

SPACERACK’s team of professional auditors ask important questions to ensure that no hazards are overlooked.

By using this checklist we can identify damage before it becomes a major safety issue, it validates that your system conforms to the latest Australian Standards, and most importantly it ensures your racking is safe and in a good working order.

Safe Working Load & Maintenance Signage

Maintenance and Safe Working Load (S.W.L) Signs are mandatory when installing new pallet racking. If your racking is being accessed by a forklift or it is over 2400mm high you need these signs. We recommend that any racking system should have maintenance and S.W.L signs to comply with the AS4084: 2023.

We can provide you with maintenance signage and SW.L. signs for all forms of Pallet Racking, Drive-In Racking, Cantilever, Raised Storage Areas, Longspan, as well as vinyl stickers for individual beams.
