Statutory Requirements
The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007
S.I. No. 299 of 2007 stipulates that each employer has a responsibility to ensure a safe place of work for
their employees. This includes ensuring that racking and storage systems are in a safe condition at all
times. Pallet Racking and Storage Systems are classified as installations under the Regulations which
states that “work equipment means any machinery, appliance, apparatus, tool or installation for use at
work”.
As such Section 30 “Inspection of work equipment”

applies, which states that:
An employer shall ensure that—
(a) where the safety of work equipment depends on

the installation conditions—
(i) an initial inspection is carried out after

installation is completed and before it is first put
into service, and
(ii) an inspection is carried out after assembly at

any new site or in any new location, and that the
work equipment is installed correctly and is
operating properly,
(b) in the case of work equipment which is exposed to conditions causing deterioration liable to result in a
danger to safety or health—
(i) periodic inspections and, where appropriate, testing is carried out,
(ii) special inspections are carried out when exceptional circumstances arise which are liable to make the
work equipment unsafe, including modification work, accidents, natural phenomena or prolonged inactivity,
and
(iii) deterioration is detected and remedied in good time,
(c) inspections carried out under paragraphs (a) and (b) are carried out by a competent person and are
appropriate to the nature, location and use of the work equipment,
(d) the results of inspections carried out under paragraphs (a) and (b) are recorded and kept available for 5
years from the date of inspection, for inspection by an inspector, and access to these records is made
available to users of the work equipment upon request, and
(e) when work equipment is used in another place of work, it is accompanied by evidence of the last
inspection carried out under paragraphs (a) and (b).
Inspection of Racking
Lifting and Handling Services offers a complete and comprehensive Pallet Storage & Racking Systems
Safety Inspection Service, which will ensure that you meet all of your obligations under the Statutory
Regulations. All LHS surveyors are “competent persons” as defined within the Statutory Regulations, and
have extensive experience in the inspection and certification industry. A full set of reports are provided
following the inspection, which highlights all risks identified using our proven risk assessment methodology.
Pallet Racking & Storage Systems are load-bearing structures, and as such their stability will be affected in
the event of:
• Damage caused by fork trucks and

other machinery
• Damaged caused by over-loading
• Change in load capacity following

alternation
• Incorrect design or installation
LHS can help you to:
• Identify and report problems before

they become more serious
• Confirm the safety, integrity and

reliability of your pallet racking and
storages systems
• Minimize the risk of workplace

accidents or collapses
• Ensure worker safety and prevent

injury, loss of life, fines, compensation
claims and legal actions etc.
• Maintain high safety standard and

comply with all Statutory Regulations
• Enable all personal to conduct their work in a safe working environment

Certification
All racking will have a signed self-adhesive label affixed showing the date of inspection and the work
carried out. An inspection report and certificate of conformance will be given to you showing details of the
service history of each piece of racking equipment and the number and type of racking on site will be
provided along with a certificate of inspection that you can displace in your workplace.
