Safe Storage and Access Systems
Gates, stacking racks, ladders, fire escapes, and shelving are used daily in warehouses, production environments, and other work sites. Because these facilities are taken for granted, they do not always receive the same attention as larger machines or installations. However, wear and tear, damage, or improper use can have direct consequences for the safety of employees and visitors.
A Normec inspection provides insight into the condition and safe operability of your storage and access systems. This helps prevent minor defects from escalating into major safety risks.
What do our inspectors check?
During the inspection, our inspectors conduct a visual inspection of the general condition, stability, and safe operation of the various work equipment and structures.
Depending on the facilities present, we inspect, among other things:
- General condition, operation, visible damage, and safety features
- Deformations, damage, load ratings, and general condition
- Rungs, rails, hinges, anti-slip features, and sturdiness
- Mounting, construction, and safe usability
- Layout plan, floors, guardrails, access, and visible defects
The inspection is tailored to the equipment available within your organization.
Prevent unsafe situations in the workplace
By having storage and access systems inspected regularly, you gain timely insight into potential defects. This allows you to take appropriate measures before safety or business continuity is compromised.
Although these inspections are not legally mandatory, an annual inspection frequency is maintained.
A safe work environment
Any defects, damage, or areas of concern are clearly documented, so you know exactly which components are in good condition and where action is needed. This provides you with a practical assessment that aligns with the day-to-day reality on the job site.
Afterward, you’ll receive a clear report that allows you to work specifically toward creating a safe work environment.
