Rack inspections are a requirement forming an integral part of all materials handling equipment and warehouse safety monitoring.
At ELAN Europe, we can provide a full Safety Assessment and Inspection service, including rack inspection, report writing, rectification proposals, source & supply of products. This complements our full installation service, which complies with SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association) codes of conduct.
Safety requirements for racking have increased considerably which is why ELAN Europe is keen to ensure we provide the most suitable products and services available.
Rack inspections are a service offering from ELAN which is available as an individual provision or as part of a larger package in making your facility a safer place.
Workplace Risk Assessments
Every business must carry out workplace risk assessments to ensure that all necessary warehouse safety precautions are in place to reduce or eliminate risk where possible. ELAN Europe have teamed up with some of the best Health and Safety experts in the country to assist you with conducting workplace risk assessments where required.
We use external organisations to ensure that assessments are carried out on a needs basis, which prevents any bias or influences that may affect the assessment. It is useful to remember that time lost to preventable warehouse H&S issues costs an operation financially as well as in other ways.
Spending early to manage these risks not only prevents issues but also helps regulate any subsequent cost later.
Work place risk assessments cover a whole host of warehouse safety issues specifically relevant to your operation.
All follow 5 basic steps:
- Identify the hazards.
- Decide who might be harmed and how.
- Evaluate the risks and decide the precautions.
- Record your findings and implement them.
- Review and update your assessments.
ELAN's Approach
Company owners and managers often worry that health and safety will become an unnecessary burden, but it shouldn’t be that way.
ELAN Europe’s approach to warehouse safety and work place risk assessments is to ensure a facility remains efficient while also ensuring the people within it remain safe. New corporate manslaughter legislation is used as a scare tactic by some organisations, we intend to help protect against it.
While selecting our support companies we have been careful to choose those that have worked within the warehouse and logistics industry at a level that is appropriate to any UK operation so we can provide, for small facilities and multi-site operations, the following commitments:
- Experienced partner companies used
- Industry-based experience
- Emphasis on relevance, practicality & efficiency
- Impartial and continued support
