Racking inspection checklist. For the walk round between expert visits.
HSG76 expects recorded visual checks at regular intervals, often weekly, by the person responsible for racking safety, with an expert inspection at least every 12 months. This checklist gives that weekly walk a structure and a record.
What the checklist covers.
Nine sections, in the order you meet them walking a run. Each one carries the points to look at, a space to record what you found and a red, amber or green call for anything that needs acting on.
Uprights and frames
Beams and locking pins
Baseplates and anchors
Bracing and row spacers
Rack protection
Decking and pallets
Load notices
Environment
Non-original components
The checklist supports your internal checks. It does not replace the annual expert inspection, and any damage found should be assessed by a competent person before the bay is reloaded.
Who the checklist is for.
Found damage? Racking repairs covers like-for-like replacement components. Not sure which system you have? Use the rack identification guide.
The checklist covers the week. We cover the year.
