Frequently Asked Questions
How often should warehouse racking be inspected?
HSE guidance (HSG76) recommends an inspection by a technically competent person at least once every 12 months, alongside regular visual checks by your own trained staff, often weekly, and immediate reporting of any damage. Busy sites with heavy forklift traffic may need expert inspections more often.
Does ProFM inspect racking itself?
No. ProFM arranges racking inspections through qualified partners and manages them under your contract, alongside our own security and cleaning teams. You get one schedule, one point of contact and the inspection reports stored with the rest of your site records.
What happens if the inspection finds damage?
Damage is graded by risk. Serious damage means the bay is offloaded and isolated straight away, while lower-risk damage is scheduled for repair within an agreed timeframe. We arrange the repairs or replacement components through the inspection partner and record the re-inspection.
Can racking be cleaned at the same time as it’s inspected?
Yes. Our cleaning teams can clean racking, beams and steelwork at the same visit or the same week, which means fewer contractors on site, less disruption to picking and a cleaner, safer installation for the inspector to assess.
How can our own staff help prevent racking damage?
Train forklift drivers to report every knock, however small, keep aisles clear, check load notices are visible and accurate, and carry out regular visual checks. Our security officers can also flag visible damage they see on patrol, so problems are reported out of hours too.
