Rack Capacity, Safety & Compliance Experts
Ensure compliance with comprehensive warehouse PSR Capacity Reports (Pre-start health and Safety Reviews).
A PSR Capacity Report (Pre-start health & Safety Review) is required in all provinces and states. Employers may not load or operate racking until a PSR Capacity Report has been completed and sealed by a Professional Engineer.
Why PSR Capacity Reports (Pre-start health and Safety Reviews) are Required
A PSR Capacity Report is a technical document that ensures racking structures are compliant with local laws and regulations. The report evaluates the workmanship of the installation and the overall structural integrity of the racking structures.
Capacities are calculated for each individual storage bay. The report is written to allow maximum flexibility to reconfigure and/or expand the racking structures in the future. The report is stored at RNW and onsite so it can be referenced by the facility’s Joint Health & Safety Committee and by local government authorities.
Ensure workplace health and safety regulations are met with a PSR Capacity Report sealed by a Professional Engineer.
