YOUR NEXT SAFETY INSPECTION IS DUE IN MARCH 2017

REPORT Client: James Fleming Ltd Job Ref: 2016/78983 Depot: Wigan Date: 15th March 2016 Date of Next Inspection: March 2017 Reason for Inspection: Annual Inspection Name of Consultant: James Bousfield Section 1-0 STORAGE SYSTEMS 1.01 The storage equipment in the Warehouse consists of Pallet Racking

manufactured by Dexion, Redirack and Link 51. 1.02 The storage equipment in the Warehouse also consists of Drive-In

Racking manufactured by Dexion Constructor and Polypal. 1.03 The Pallet Racking beams are fitted with slatted timber decks and

MDF chipboard shelves at some levels. 1.04 Fork lift trucks operate in this Warehouse. 1.05 The Warehouse operates at ambient temperature. 1.06 Details of all relevant equipment dimensions are held on file so that

should the client require load notices or to check on the safety of any alteration we will be able to offer advice.

Section 2-0 GUIDELINES 2.01 The paragraphs in section three highlight the main areas of risk

detected during the inspection and also other areas that give cause for concern. For full details of damaged components please refer to the Site inspection sheets appended to this report.

2.02 The Site inspection sheets categorise our assessment of the 'risk' of a

collapse and other hazards or incidents and relate to the condition and use of storage equipment at the time of the inspection.

The SESS Methodology used by our technically competent, Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Approved Rack Inspectors, makes reference to the SEMA Codes of Practice and Guidelines and the British Standard Euronorm BS EN 15635:2008 Steel Static Storage Systems — Application and Maintenance of Storage Equipment.

The SESS Methodology allows for other factors to be taken into consideration beyond Industry Guidelines and enables the Inspector to categorise the risk and recommend remedial action accordingly.

The categories of risk are: Green - Periodic monitoring required

Amber - Damage requiring to be off-loaded within 4 weeks. Red - Very serious damage requiring immediate off-load.

Recorded damage not repaired or off-loaded within the specified time will be reassessed at subsequent inspections and may be recorded with a warning to indicate to the user that damage to the equipment is not being correctly managed. Managed Inspections If the client undertakes to adopt an agreed commitment to the safe management and maintenance of their storage equipment then SESS Ltd may implement a more subjective approach to damage and risk assessments. In these situations any extension of the four week off-load period will be indicated on the inspection sheets as agreed with the client.

Storage equipment loading capacities are governed by the configuration of the components of the structure. Should changes to the configuration or components occur, or the loadings increase, expert advice must be sought prior to effecting the changes.

Under Health & Safety Legislation, installations which are newly built or relocated must be inspected prior to use by a competent person.

2.03 All relevant statutory provisions were adhered to in the assessment and

guidance given in this report. In particular but not exclusively:

• The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

• The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999

• The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998

• The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 2.04 When carrying out safety inspections of work equipment it is essential

that those carrying out the inspection are competent to do so and have sufficient indemnity to support their advice.

Competence is defined as having sufficient experience and knowledge in the type of work being undertaken. The inspection of racking should be carried out by a technically competent person, fully experienced in the identification and categorisation of racking damage. The knowledge and experience of the Inspector can be demonstrated by them having attained a SEMA Approved Rack Inspectors qualification and being able to produce evidence of this.

2.05 When contracting out repairs the contract should state:

"All repairs should be in accordance with the SEMA/BS EN Codes of Practice and the manufacturers design and installation standards."

This should give you some redress against the repairer if it is subsequently found that these standards have not been complied with.

"All rack repairs should be carried out by qualified installers trained under the Storage Equipment Installers Registration Scheme"(SEIRS)

SEIRS is a safety initiative of SEMA, to raise standards of health and safety in the industry and came about further to discussions with the Health and Safety Executive who are keen for the industry to regulate itself and adopt a pro-active approach.

SEIRS is unique in that it is the only national programme for installers, which addresses the health, and safety needs of the industry to constitute a storage industry 'safety passport'.

As the name implies SEIRS includes a national register of storage equipment installers together with their level of qualification. The validity of an installer's ID card can be verified by contacting SEMA.

To ensure a safe structure all Amber and Red Risk Categories should be implemented within their prescribed time limits.

2.06 As standard practice damaged components should be replaced like for

like unless a non-conforming repair has been identified or we recommend a specific change. Where we propose a component should be repaired, the repair should be carried out in accordance with any recommendations we make in the report. Any recommendations are based on many years experience in the industry and after consultation with manufacturers. They are intended to be of benefit to you in terms of increased factors of safety and/or economy in either the short or long term.

Repairers sometimes unwittingly carry out repairs that make the equipment more dangerous than it was prior to the repair being effected. On subsequent inspections such components would almost certainly be categorised as a red risk.

To ensure a safe structure all Amber and Red Risk Categories should be implemented within their prescribed time limits.

Section 3-0 INSPECTION 3.01 A copy of our damage report sheet and copies of Site inspection sheets

were left on Site by our Inspector. Damaged components should be treated according to the risk category designated on the inspection sheets. See section 2-0 above.

To reduce the loading on damaged frames, each bay adjacent to the frame must be completely off-loaded. Where additional locations require off-loading due to the dependence of the whole structure to individual components, these have been indicated on the inspection sheets and/or in the safety report.

3.02 The inspection took place from floor level. In some instances the

complete frame (in particular the rear upright) could not be inspected due to the loads being placed tightly against the frame, therefore impairing visibility. Rear beams, where visible, were inspected.

3.03 A floor fixing was missing. Floor fixings in a racking installation are

an essential feature to its stability as well as preventing the dislodgment of components from mechanical handling activity; they must, therefore, be replaced. A thorough check of all fixings should be carried out and remedial action taken as appropriate. Hand-loaded equipment located adjacent to where mechanical handling equipment operates, should be fixed to the floor to prevent movement or the possibility of a collapse should a collision occur. In this case a different base plate may be required to change the fixing position.

3.04 It was noted and our Inspector was informed of excessive movement

on the single bay of racking (M) in the finished goods Warehouse. This could be down to an underspecified base plate, and a larger base plate with a double base plate fitting has been recommended. However in locations 2 onwards it is an old Dexion MK2 system, it has a number of non-recommended manufacturers alterations such as multiple splices, Storax replacement items where damage has been rectified and also potentially quite a large load capacity on an aged system. It may be more appropriate to install a new system that is fit for purpose.

3.05 A number of uprights were found to be damaged and should be replaced as indicated. Under no circumstances should any attempt be made to repair an upright.

3.06 Some base plates and uprights were twisted which has the effect of

reducing the load carrying capacity of the uprights. The twist should be removed from the components.

In some instances, twisted uprights can only be straightened by the use of force.

Such uprights should be replaced as almost certainly they have been over stressed and undetected damage - for example, behind a beam connector - could exist. In some instances the twist could result in irreversible damage to the base plate. In these circumstances the base plates should also be replaced.

3.07 A diagonal bracing member was damaged. Such members in bolted

type frames must be replaced and no repair should be attempted. The impact that caused the damage may have caused the bracing holes in the upright to elongate. This elongation may not necessarily have been detected. Your repairer should be instructed to check for such damage and to replace any upright where hole elongation is found.

3.08 A number of beams were found to be damaged and should be replaced

as indicated. 3.09 A number of beams were deflecting close to tolerance limits in the raw

materials/allergen area. This may be as a result of direct overloading or the non-uniform distribution of load. We recommend that this issue be rectified. If affected beams are off-loaded and there is apparent residual deflection then a replacement of the damaged beam will be necessary. The loads on the beams must be reduced.

3.10 Some floor fixed column guard fixings were loose. Impacts from

mechanical handling equipment can be transferred from the top edge of the loose guard into the upright face. Loose column guards offer limited protection and commonly contribute to racking damage.

Unless the nuts on the fixings are tightened, the fixings will wear away

the host material to the point where the situation cannot be rectified. In this case the fixing will have to be re-positioned and may entail re-drilling the column guard.

Section 4-0 MANUFACTURERS REQUIREMENTS 4.01 Within the parameters of the inspection all storage equipment appears

to have been installed to the manufacturer’s design and installation standards, with the exception of those mentioned in 3.04.

4.02 Any changes in the conditions that the storage system is working under

can affect the integral safety of the system. If storage systems are re-located or re-built or are second-hand they must still be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Section 5-0 STANDARD OF REPAIRS 5.01 The current safety inspection indicates that most repairs have been

undertaken.

If some repairs were not carried out due to in-house decisions, may we remind you that all damaged components recorded as requiring action have a reduced factor of safety and could therefore fail, the consequences of which could prove very serious and expensive.

5.02 We note that interchangeable components not manufactured by the

original manufacturer of the racking system, Dexion, have been used for the replacement of damaged Dexion Speedlock components.

Although Dexion Ltd ceased trading in 2003 and no longer manufactures the original product, there are many Dexion Speedlock racking systems still in use. The option to use Dexion interchangeable components to repair or extend original Dexion Pallet Racking has become a choice for many users.

Suppliers and manufactures of ‘compatible’ equipment provide interchangeable components under their own brand name, and guarantee the components to be fully compatible and interchangeable with original Dexion Speedlock. SESS has inspected many Sites where compatible equipment has been used to replace Dexion Speedlock components and in the absence of formal independent testing, has not found any safety issues with their compatibility.

Customers themselves must decide how best to replace their damaged racking components and are free to choose whose ‘compatible’ components they buy. We would suggest that reputation and track record should be an important factor in this decision.

All manufacturers have a legal responsibility (under Customers Statutory Rights legislation) to ensure that the products they supply are fit for the purpose for which they are to be used, which in this case includes weight loadings and structural safety as well as the physical fit of the compatible components they are supplying.

5.03 It is always advisable, if you currently do not do so, that once your

designated rack maintenance team states that they have completed the repairs to your racking as highlighted in this report that you instruct them to accompany you and for them to indicate what work has been carried out. This can be done by checking all repairs against the SESS damage repair sheets before signing the repairers/installers repair completion certificate.

In some instances, clients have been misled and believe that all the hazards identified in this inspection have been rectified when in fact they have not. They have unwittingly been placed in a liable situation should the uncertified hazards later contribute to an accident or incident. Please be advised.

Section 6-0 HOUSEKEEPING 6.01 The general housekeeping of the Warehouse is of a high standard.

However, the following comments should be noted and the corrective action implemented to promote further a safe working environment.

6.02 The Warehouse was congested in some areas due to stock stored in

aisles, gangways and stairwells. This practice can lead to accidents and should be discouraged. Due to the nature of the business this condition is sometimes unavoidable. But attention should be paid to where forklift truck drivers are forced to operate in a restricted space, where obvious tripping hazards occur and the accessibility to emergency exits becomes restricted. Many accidents are directly attributable to bad housekeeping particularly when fork lift truck drivers attempt to operate in a restricted space.

6.03 Adequate handling clearances should be allowed between pallets/pallet

loads and adjacent racking components. In some areas your racking clearances are not being maintained. This practice should be discouraged.

6.04 The damage to bracing members referred to in Section 3-0 of this

report is almost certainly caused by pallets positioned too close to uprights and/or intrusive stacking techniques. Your truck drivers should be made aware of this operational problem.

Section 7-0 LOAD NOTICES 7.01 No load notices were displayed on some of the equipment. It is now

compulsory for all SEMA members registered under the SEMA - ISO 9002 sector scheme to supply such notices on equipment they install. Enforcing Officers will often insist that such notices are fitted and in the event of a rack collapse, is one of the first points they will look for. We urge you to fit such notices, which we can supply for you. Attached to the report are samples of the various types of load/safety notices we can supply.

Load notices are supplied on the basis that your racking is repaired and/or replaced as per the safety inspection report and that regular safety inspections are carried out.

Assessment of the equipment for the rating and supply of load notices may reveal a requirement to restrict or reduce the existing loading to a lower safe capacity.

7.02 Load notices are displayed on the remainder of the equipment. There

is no evidence to indicate that the data shown does not conform to the manufacturer's design.

Section 8-0 OPERATIONAL SAFETY 8.01 The quality of slatted timber decks used in the structure gave cause for

concern. The timber decks fitted are light weight and are not reflected on the load notices fitted to the racks. Damaged decks can contribute to or cause a collapse with consequential damage to products, but more importantly, injury to personnel.

A preventative maintenance programme should be implemented and

your staff be advised not to put load damaged decks in the system. All damaged decks should be placed in a quarantine area until repaired.

Section 9-0 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONSIDERATION 9.01 It is recommended that all staff should be encouraged to report all

misalignment, excessive movement or damage of racking immediately it is noticed so that appropriate action can be taken to ensure their safety and the safety of others.

9.02 It is recommended that there should be regular inspections of all

racking by internal staff at monthly intervals to identify and act upon any damage or other defects, in accordance with the SEMA and BS EN Guidelines.

9.03 It is recommended that appropriate training should be provided for

internal inspection staff to ensure a proper level of competence and understanding in the duties involved in inspecting the racking and shelving in accordance with the SEMA and BS EN Guidelines. The name of any such persons should be publicised to the Warehouse staff.

Section 10-0 REPLACEMENT MATERIALS AND ACTION REQUIRED 10.01 The attached list of components is for your guidance only. The

quantities and dimension quoted are approximate. We strongly recommend that your repairer be instructed to check all quantities and dimensions.

Should a third party be instructed to, or of their own volition, modify the specifications of existing components, or offer alternative advice as to the integrity of the components, then the person issuing the instruction or modifying the specifications will be deemed to have acted as a competent person and as such will be ultimately responsible for such actions.
