What does WorkSafe say about Pallet Racking Inspections?
Pallet Rack Inspections – from WorkSafe Victoria
Pallet racking should be inspected frequently for damage and overloading. This helps to ensure the correct use of the system.
The frequency of informal inspections should be based on the recommendations of the manufacturer or competent person. For example, daily or weekly.
A competent person should also complete a formal inspection of pallet racking every 12 months. If the racking system is more than 8 metres high, an elevating work platform to inspect the upper levels should be used.
A report documenting the inspection should be provided to the employer including observations and proposals of any corrective actions required.
