Befähigte Person Regalanlagen

Become a qualified person for the UVV inspection of racking systems

Falsche Beladung, eine veraltete Konstruktion oder gelockerte Schrauben können Regalanlagen zur hochriskanten Bedrohung machen und zu schweren, lebensgefährlichen Unfällen sowie hohen Sachschäden führen. Damit die Sicherheit des Personals jederzeit gewährleistet werden kann, zählen Regaleinrichtungen in Betrieben zu Arbeitsmitteln und müssen demzufolge mindestens einmal jährlich einer fachgerechten UVV-Prüfung durch eine befähigte Person zur Prüfung von Regalanlagen unterzogen werden. Dank einer entsprechenden Ausbildung an der LTS-Akademie zum Sachkundigen können Sie die Maßnahmen zur Unfallprävention und Einhaltung versicherungsrechtlicher Vorgaben künftig in Eigenregie umsetzen und dokumentieren. Hier erfahren Sie mehr darüber.

Although storage racks are generally designed to withstand heavy loads, their load-bearing capacity is eventually reached. If the permissible payload is exceeded, the system is damaged, repairs are carried out improperly, or stability is compromised, the permanent protection of employees is no longer guaranteed. The employer is responsible for ensuring safety within the company. This includes the equipment used and operated. According to DIN standard EN 15635 dated August 1, 2009, stationary and movable racking systems and cabinets must be regularly inspected for safety. This requires a weekly visual inspection by a qualified employee and, if necessary, but at least once a year, an inspection by a competent person for racking system testing. Racking systems subject to mandatory inspection include, among others:

  • Archive shelves

  • Drive-in racking

  • Drive-through racking

  • Flow racks

  • Shelving units

  • Cantilever racks

  • Pallet racking

  • multi-story buildings.

We will prepare you for professional work

UVV shelf inspection

The annual rack inspection may only be carried out by a qualified person for the inspection of racking systems. According to DGUV Regulation 108-007 Storage facilities and equipment (formerly BGR 234), a qualified person is defined as "someone who, based on their professional training and experience, possesses sufficient knowledge of the respective work equipment and is familiar with the relevant national occupational safety and health regulations, accident prevention regulations, and generally accepted rules of technology (e.g., BG rules, DIN standards, VDE regulations, technical rules) to such an extent that they can assess the safe working condition of the work equipment."
