Rigorous Racking in Rough Seas: The Intricacies of Offshore Storage Safety
Did an offshore oil rig enquiry ever lead you to ponder the practicalities of racking inspections in the middle of the sea? NWS delves deep into the intricate world of offshore racking safety, exploring the challenge of maintaining storage equipment amidst strict security, health & safety measures and logistical hurdles. Here’s why the 260 offshore platforms across UK waters bring unique storage concerns to the forefront.
Why Offshore Racking Safety Matters:
Those in the warehouse and logistics sectors recognise the significance of racking safety regulations. Your racking system is more than just metal; it’s the foundation of operational success. Overlook its maintenance, and you're courting disaster. The HSE mandates thorough inspections by a SEMA-approved racking inspector (SARI) annually, while employers hold a moral and legal obligation to ensure the security of their storage equipment.
Introducing the PRRS – Your Offshore Guardian:
The PRRS or Person Responsible for Racking Safety is a title introduced by SEMA and HSE. This role is pivotal for offshore platforms. Responsible for weekly inspections, a PRRS ensures your racking remains under SEMA's guidance and in optimal shape. Effective PRRS inspections necessitate systematic reporting and timely rectifications.

Ensuring your PRRS operates safely and efficiently requires comprehensive training, and that's where NWS steps in.
