Safety will always be the number one priority at Benchmark, so why not highlight our employees showing that initiative? Recently our very own David Miller was inspecting extension cords in the shop and came across a cord with a deep cut through the outer insulating jacket and the neutral. The copper wire could be seen because of the depth of the gash. If this cord was used on a job site or in the shop, it could have resulted in a life-endangering situation, reiterating why inspecting extension cords before use is considered a best practice. OSHA regulations are clear, repairing extension cords with electrical tape or merely covering the cut is prohibited. He disposed of the electrical cord in the garbage and made others aware of this situation to ensure nobody pulled it back out. Thank you David! Your dedication to keeping others safe does not go unnoticed, enjoy that gift card to Home Depot! #Benchmark #Construction #Safety

During mid-Saturday trading, the warehouse roller door at this builders' merchant experienced a malfunction. Through thorough investigative efforts, we managed to close and secure the door for the weekend. Upon returning during the week, we identified that the door had never functioned correctly due to improper wiring and setup. We promptly corrected these issues, ensuring that the door now operates as intended. #MaintenanceMatters #ProblemSolved #ProfessionalService #SecureAndSafe #ExpertRepair #EfficientSolutions

As industry leaders, we want to make sure you understand your obligations regarding audit requirements under AS4084-2023. AS4084-2023 is the Australian Standard for Steel Storage Racking, which also applies in NZ. Compliance with this standard is vital for the safety and integrity of storage systems. Regular audits (at least annually) are essential to assess the condition and performance of your storage racking system. According to AS4084-2023, all businesses using steel storage racking must undergo periodic audits. These audits help identify potential issues, damage, or deficiencies in the racking systems, thus preventing accidents, injuries, and damage to goods. Addressing these issues also ensures that your storage solutions remain compliant with safety regulations and standards. To assist you, we offer comprehensive audit services conducted by qualified professionals experienced in storage racking systems. Our audit assesses the condition, stability, and structural integrity of your racking system, providing a detailed report with findings and recommendations for remedial actions if necessary. Regular audits will help you demonstrate your commitment to safety to your relevant stakeholders and allow you to safeguard your operations against potential hazards and regulatory non-compliance. To schedule an audit, contact your representative directly or call us on 0800 RACK UP 📞 or email [email protected] 💻 #storepro #storeprosolutions #nzownedandoperated #storagesolutions #racking #palletracking #warehouseshelving #warehousingsolutions #smallenoughtocarebigenoughtodeliver #raisingthelevelofyourbusiness

CAN YOU RECOGNISE THE ISSUE? During a recent audit, we spotted a damaged upright protector (orange) pressing against a racking upright (blue). Once a protector is in contact with the upright, it can no longer safeguard the racking. Any further impact will directly affect the upright, compromising its integrity and safety. This damaged protector needs immediate replacement to prevent any potential damage to the racking upright. Ensuring the proper functioning of all safety equipment is crucial for maintaining a safe and efficient workplace. Remember, regular inspections and timely replacements are key to a secure and safe environment. Stay vigilant and keep your racking systems in top shape with a RackSAFE Audit – Call 0456 813 864, email [email protected] or head to https://lnkd.in/gwk9DWxF and fill out our simple form and we’ll send you a no-obligation quote! #racksafe #safetyfirst #safetycompliance #australianstandards #palletracking #audit #compliance #palletrackingaudit #palletrackingauditqld #palletrackingauditnt #palletrackingauditvic #palletrackingauditnsw #palletrackingauditwa #palletrackingauditsa #palletrackingaudittas #whs #austandards #riskmitigation #safety #RackSafety #StaySafe

🚨 THIS IS A BIG NO-NO! 🚨 During a recent audit, we found a client storing a large item, which we've disguised in orange, on top of their racking bracing. This is a serious safety hazard! The bracing is designed to keep the front and back uprights in place, not to hold weight. Placing items on the bracing can compromise its integrity, leading to a potential collapse of the entire racking system. 😱 No matter how light an item might seem, never store products on the bracing. It's not worth the risk. Always adhere to proper storage methods and keep items off the bracing. Your safety and the stability of your racking systems are our top priorities. If you’re not sure whether you’ve got all the right items in all the right places, you’d better schedule an audit asap! Call 0456 813 864, email [email protected] or head to https://lnkd.in/gwk9DWxF to schedule online! #racksafe #safetyfirst #safetycompliance #australianstandards #palletracking #audit #compliance #palletrackingaudit #palletrackingauditqld #palletrackingauditnt #palletrackingauditvic #palletrackingauditnsw #palletrackingauditwa #palletrackingauditsa #palletrackingaudittas #whs #austandards #riskmitigation #safety #RackSafety #StaySafe
