What do you have to do?
Racking should be inspected both internally and by a competent external party. A nominated person within your company who has received sufficient training should inspect your racking on a regular basis. These inspections should be documented to provide an evidence trail that the racking inspections have been carried out.
Racking inspections by a competent external party should also be carried out. The Health and Safety Executive states that these racking inspections by a competent external party should be carried out at intervals of not more than 12 months.
Typical Racking Inspection Intervals:
Visual: Daily
Documented: Weekly
External Competent Person: Annually (or more frequently)
