Let's talk about the risk matrix

Pallet racking is a critical component of warehouse storage systems, and safety is of paramount importance to prevent damage to the goods, the racking, and, most importantly, the workers. One of the tools used to assess the risk of pallet racking is the risk matrix.

The risk matrix operates on a dynamic duo of intersecting factors: the probability of a risk event occurring and the consequential impact it may have on the business.

This tool facilitates the visualization of the probability versus the severity of a potential risk, thereby assisting in categorizing risks into high (red), moderate (amber), or low (green) risk categories.

As an integral part of the risk management process, RackSAFE utilizes the risk matrix to prioritize risks and formulate an effective mitigation strategy for our clients.

 

GREEN RISK

Acceptable Damage – Racking shall be considered serviceable and does not require either unit load reduction or immediate unloading.

AMBER RISK

Hazardous Damage. The damaged section shall be clearly marked & isolated until remedial work has been carried out before the racking can be reloaded.

RED RISK

Serious Damage. Damaged section and appropriate adjacent sections shall be immediately unloaded and isolated from further use until remedial work has been carried out and certified as safe.
