RACKING INSPECTION TRAINING & RACK SAFETY AWARENESS COURSE
Our one-day rack inspection training and rack safety awareness course can be held:
- At your companies warehouse where we utilise your racking systems.
- At one of our regional training centres (classroom based only)
- Online where our trainers present the course live and answer questions from delegates.
AT YOUR SITE: It is most beneficial to hold this course at your premises so that our trainer can ensure the course content is relevant to the racking systems and operations within your warehouse and the practical session can take place in your warehouse allowing the delegates to use and practise the knowledge they gain during the classroom session.

TRAINING CENTRES: Visiting one of our regional training centres is a cost-effective option for companies that only need one or two of the team to attend the course and prefer in person training. (CLICK HERE TO VIEW DATES)
ONLINE: Our online training (CLICK HERE TO VIEW DATES) has received 100’s of positive reviews, it’s cost effective and offers the most convenience (i.e. no need to travel), but this course is best suited for persons that are motivated to learn. A common challenge with any online training is that the level of interaction is greatly reduced, and our trainers ability to keep less motivated delegates engaged is limited. Choose members of your team to attend online training that are motivated to learn and less likely to be distracted.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND THIS COURSE
- Warehouse managers
- Health & Safety Managers
- MHE Operators & other warehouse staff that work with or near the racking systems
All operators of forklifts & other MHE (Mechanical Handling Equipment) should attend this course as forklifts & other MHE are the most common cause of damage to racking systems. These operators are most likely to notice racking related issues and attending this course often leads to a safer racking system.

The course covers an in-depth look at how to maintain the safety of racking systems and the consequences of a racking failure. We explain the importance of rack safety inspections including information on how, when & who should conduct the weekly/monthly internal racking inspections and what actions to take on completion.
