Racking Damage Surveys & Safety Assessments


Why does your industrial racking and industrial shelving need checking?

Every Sheffield business is bound by a wide range of legislation – but did you know that includes your warehouse racking equipment?

All industrial storage solutions in Sheffield need regular checks to ensure they are safe. That’s not simply to reduce the risk of costly repairs and reinstallations. Faulty warehouse racking installations have already caused fatalities in the UK – and failures to comply with safety requirements can have lifechanging consequences, not only to victims, but to the businesses involved.

The HSE requires your industrial racking to be checked regularly. A “responsible person” within your own organisation can do this on a weekly basis, but every 12 months (minimum) your industrial storage equipment must be inspected by a “technically competent person” who should also produce a report detailing any corrective action required.

Rack-Master Storage Systems carries out fully compliant Racking Damage Surveys in Sheffield, helping you meet your legal requirements and cut the risk of warehouse storage system failure.


How much does a Racking Damage Survey cost?

Our typical price for a Sheffield Racking Damage Survey is £250.00 per day + VAT and £150.00 + VAT for the written report which includes a full site layout plan.


What does each Racking Damage Survey include?

Ask us to complete your Sheffield Racking Damage Survey and we will:

  • • Carry out a full on-site visual inspection of your warehouse storage system, identifying any damage (and its location) on inspection sheets.
  • • Provide a written report for your Health & Safety file (so you comply with HSE guidelines and current legislation).
  • • Give you a competitive quote for any remedial work identified in the report.

    We know how important it is that you should have complete confidence in the integrity of your Racking Damage Survey. So to avoid any potential conflict of interest, we present the quote in a way that enables you to A) check the damaged locations for yourself and B) get a comparative quote from a competitor.

How long do Racking Damage Surveys take?

Most of our pallet Racking Damage Surveys take no more than one day. Particularly large or damaged warehouse racking installations in Sheffield may take a little longer to survey.
