At CSI, we understand how important it is to keep pallet racking installations maintained well, helping improve safety on site and increase the lifespan of the racking installation. This is why we offer rack safety awareness courses which are held at your site to show your staff how to conduct regular rack safety inspections.

The one-day course is presented by one of our SARI (SEMA Approved Racking Inspectors) who will provide your staff with the required skills to inspect racking on a weekly basis. Well-suited for groups of 6-8 delegates, the course provides both information and hands on training. The course is divided into two sessions, a morning session and an afternoon session.
Upon completion of the course, your delegates will receive a certificate that lasts for 3 years.
How Your Business Benefits from a Rack Safety Awareness Course
Damage to pallet racking can be a costly problem for any business. Damage can result from overloading, vehicle collisions or a lack of maintenance – they can result in a loss of stock, injuries and even fatalities. This is why it is essential that pallet racking installations are maintained well and that everyone working in your warehouse understands safe working practices. A rack safety awareness course is an investment which will pay off time and time again, as warehouse staff know what to look out for when carrying out routine internal inspections in between annual inspections. Their knowledge will help them spot issues early, before accidents occur and expensive repairs are necessary.
