Pallet Racking Audit and Repairs

WHS Compliant Pallet Racking Audit & Repairs

Under the WHS Act, all persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) must be able to demonstrate that they have taken steps to ensure, so far as is ‘reasonably practicable’, a safe working environment for all workers, and others at a workplace. This includes a process of risk management and complying with all applicable WHS legislation and industry standards.

Pallet racking systems are a significant investment to a business and a crucial part of a warehouse operation. Despite that many workplaces are unaware or overlook the importance of having procedures for the safe operation and maintenance of their pallet racking systems

No matter how careful or experienced forklift operators are, damage will occur from time to time, which can result in serious consequences if left undetected.

To comply with Australian Standards AS 4084-2012 Steel storage racking (Section 8.2), ‘’Inspections shall be carried out on a regular basis, and at least once every twelve (12) months to:

(a) ensure the correct application and use of equipment;

(b) ensure that the working load limits are adhered to;
(c) ensure that the racking installation has not been altered;

(d) examine the extent of damage due to impact in the racking installation;
(e) examine the out-of-plumb of the racking;
(f) examine for any dislocation and deformation of sections and connections for uprights and beams;
(g) examine connectors for deformation or signs of cracking of the welds; and
