Keeping your warehouse safe and efficient starts with regular pallet racking safety audits. Over time, racking frames can be damaged by forklifts, impacted by seismic activity, or altered when beam heights are adjusted for new stock. Without proper checks, this can put your staff and inventory at risk.

​

Why Safety Audits Matter

• Protect staff and valuable stock.

• Identify damage from forklifts, heavy loads, or wear and tear.

• Check racking integrity after New Zealand earthquakes.

• Ensure shelving remains compliant during new builds or upgrades.

A safety audit is a vital step in maintaining workplace safety and reducing liability under NZ Health & Safety obligations.

​

When Should You Book a Safety Audit?

• After a seismic event in your region.

• If your racking shows visible wear or damage.

• When beam heights are changed to fit different stock.

• Before or after a new warehouse build or racking upgrade.

• If it has been 12 months or more since your last inspection.

We recommend scheduling a yearly safety audit to stay proactive.
