Racking Awareness Training Courses
Our racking awareness training courses play a crucial role in maintaining your warehouse racking in optimal condition. The purpose of the course is to ensure you have a trained and certified PRRS on-site to carry out regular in-house inspections between your annual racking inspections.
Our training is designed for anyone involved with racking, from warehouse managers to order pickers, as having a knowledgeable team is essential.
Upon successfully completing the course, your designated PRRS will be certified for three years to perform internal inspections alongside your annual SEMA-approved racking inspector inspection.
Our racking training courses are delivered nationwide at your site, eliminating the need for multiple participants to travel for training.
The courses cover both cantilever racking and pallet racking training, equipping participants with the skills required to carry out inspections throughout the year. They include comprehensive instruction on health and safety criteria for racking inspections, SEMA codes of practice, and SEMA damage classifications, along with both written and practical exercises.

What does HSE say?
HSG76 Warehouse and Storage – A guide to health & Safety (Second edition, published 2007)
643: As soon as a safety problem or damage is observed by any employee, it should immediately be reported to the PRRS. You should have systems in place for reporting damage and defects
645: The ‘Person Responsible for Rack Safety’ should ensure that inspections are made at weekly or other regular intervals based on risk assessment. A formal written record should be maintained.
So what should you do?
In order to maintain the functionality and safety of a racking installation, it is important to conduct regular inspections of the storage equipment.
The frequency of these inspections should be determined by a designated ‘person responsible for racking safety’ (PRRS) based on the specific factors of the site and tailored to the operational conditions of the warehouse.
In conclusion, it is essential for every operation to have a certified ‘PRRS’ present on site in order to carry out regular in-house inspections and promptly address any issues or damage that may arise.
