FAQ

Regular Racking Inspections are crucial to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations. The frequency of inspections may vary depending on the nature of the warehouse or business, but it’s generally recommended to conduct them at least annually. According to Malaysia’s Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), workplaces must comply with safety standards, and inspections should be performed more frequently if the racking systems are subject to heavy use or environmental factors.

In Malaysia, the following types of Racking Inspections are essential for maintaining safety:

  • Routine Inspection: Conducted regularly (monthly or quarterly) to identify any immediate safety issues.
  • Detailed Inspection: Involves a more thorough examination of structural integrity, usually once a year or after any significant incidents.
  • Post-Accident Inspection: Required after any accidents or racking system damage to assess safety and repair needs.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 (OSHA) encourages companies to follow these inspection protocols to mitigate risks.

A Racking Inspection in Malaysia must be carried out by a qualified person. This person should be trained or experienced in assessing racking systems’ structural safety and compliance with Malaysian workplace safety regulations, including those outlined by DOSH. A “qualified person” typically holds certifications in Warehouse Safety or Racking System Design and installation.

Yes, racking inspections are subject to regulations set by DOSH under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) 1994. Employers are required to ensure that racking systems in the workplace are safe and regularly inspected. The Malaysian standards for storage systems, such as MS 1972:2013 (Code of Practice for the Installation of Pallet Racking Systems), outline specific requirements for racking safety, maintenance, and inspections.

A comprehensive Racking Inspection checklist in Malaysia should include:

  • Upright Posts: Check for misalignment, damage, or signs of wear.
  • Base Plates and Anchoring: Ensure that base plates are properly anchored and not damaged.
  • Beams and Shelves: Inspect for wear, bending, and proper locking mechanisms.
  • Safety Features: Verify that beam safety locks and other protective features are functioning correctly.
  • Overall Structural Integrity: Assess the overall condition of the racking system and ensure it complies with MS 1972:2013.

Common signs include visible damage to beams, columns, or frames, misalignment of racks, loose or missing bolts, bent or deformed shelves, and excessive wear on parts. If you notice any of these issues, it’s essential to inspect and repair the system to prevent further damage or safety hazards.

A well-maintained racking system can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on the type of materials used, usage intensity, and maintenance practices. Regular inspections and minor repairs can extend the lifespan of the system. However, major replacements may be necessary if the racking shows signs of severe damage or wear.

If a racking system fails an inspection, it must be repaired or replaced to meet safety standards. The inspector will typically issue a report outlining the issues and corrective actions required. Depending on the severity of the failure, the system may need to be decommissioned until it passes a re-inspection. In some cases, businesses may face penalties for non-compliance, and the racking system may pose safety risks until rectified.

Yes, racking systems can be re-inspected after a failure. Typically, the racking system will need to be repaired or modified to meet safety standards before it is re-inspected. Once the necessary improvements are made, you can schedule a follow-up inspection to ensure compliance and safety.

For a racking inspection in Malaysia, the following documents are generally required:

  1. Previous inspection reports (if applicable)
  2. Layout and design plans of the racking system
  3. Maintenance records, including any repairs or modifications
  4. Manufacturer’s specifications and guidelines for the racking system
  5. Proof of compliance with relevant local regulations and safety standards.
