SAFETY CHECKS FOR STORAGE EQUIPMENT
February 1st 2005

A new storage inspection service has been introduced by Spaceway South to help companies protect employees from damaged and poorly maintained equipment.

Carried out bi-annually, or more frequently if the operation demands, to ensure that companies are adhering to safety guidelines, the service will provide employers with peace of mind and provide a written history for health & safety inspectors and insurance companies.

Using procedures set down by the HSE and The Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association, Spaceway’s technicians will inspect all storage equipment for signs of damage caused by pallet racking and shelving being struck by vehicles and access equipment.

It will also inspect racking for missing parts, such as fixings and locking pins.
