Health and Safety - Our Philosophy

Thankfully the storage industry has a good safety record. At Redirack we promote safe working practices and as a supplier of a product that has significant safety implications we work closely with our customers to minimise the chance of accidents.

It's true to say that you will never see a rack installation looking like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Racks are either vertical or they fall over. Racks falling over is something that everybody wants to avoid.

SEMA & the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

As a manufacturer we belong to SEMA, an association that promotes safe working practices and ensures that its members design, produce and install their products to the highest safety standards.

In addition there is the Health and Safety at Work Act that places personal responsibility upon employers and employees to work within the law and eliminate unsafe practices. Employers must provide a safe working environment, and employees must act in such a manner to ensure his or her safety and that of their workmates.

There is a temptation when considering safety to think of dangerous jobs - steeple jacks, miners and fireman or dangerous equipment furnaces, presses guillotines and so on. But the act equally applies to pallet racking and materials handling installations.
