Racking Inspection Training

Rack Safety Awareness Course

Our one day rack safety awareness course can be held at your premises. Alternatively, we run our course at one of our regional training centres (Hertford, Rugeley and Alderley Edge) or as an online learning option via Microsoft teams.

It is beneficial, if you have the space available, to hold this course at your premises as our trainer can include course content that is relevant to the racking systems and operations within your warehouse.

The course covers an in-depth look at the need for rack safety inspections, how to conduct a risk assessment of the storage equipment in your workplace and what actions to take on completion. It references the SEMA codes of practice and industry standards and reviews current legislation. Recommended reference texts are also given on the course.
