Why Racking Safety Training Is Essential

Why Your Team Needs Certified Racking Safety Training

HSE HSG76 and SEMA Codes of Practice require every warehouse to appoint a Person Responsible for Racking Safety (PRRS) who is trained to carry out regular visual inspections between annual expert checks by a SARI. Without proper training, staff may miss damage (e.g., bent uprights, missing safety clips), leading to collapses, injuries, fines, downtime, or voided insurance.

Our courses empower your team to:

• Spot early signs of damage

• Understand SEMA RAG risk levels

• Perform safe interim checks

• Reduce accident risk and maintain compliance
