In recent times there have been a number of headline Earthquakes. Last year Vanuatu was a small blip in the news, and Haiti & New Zealand woke us all up to an issue that we had complacent about in that it hadn’t made headlines in a very long time, so we all to a certain extent forgot the risks. Then came Japan, on Australias doorstop, devistation, people dead in the thousands, nuclear disasters, and economy and country crippled by an unavoidable natural event.

Sometimes, what we don’t realise, that dispite Australia being a relatively low risk area, we do still have Earthquakes and tremors, as demonstrated very recently in Queensland. The size, location and timing of such events is so variable and hard to predict that Australian business, or any business around the world, can not risk complacency. To provide perspective to the potential peril that we feel somewhat buffered from, view http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/listQuakes. This list demonstrates that although our risk is lower say than Japan, Earthquakes do happen frequently in Australia. Ensure your business is ready. Do you have a disaster action plan, is your building rated to withstand an Earthquake, Are the contents of your business, from your racking and stock loading, to your machinery to your valuable staff, as prepared and ready as they can be?

One of the advantages in using an independent service, is that the independent advice you get is better on your companies bottom line.

A common scenario – your company has, over time, accumulated a number of damaged areas to your racking over your many national stores. You search for a solution, you look for someone to assess and repair it and have it out of your hair as quickly and painlessley as possible.

That solution, in many instances, falls almost by default to the racking manufacturer, the brand name on your rack makes the decision for you. However, the very same racking manufacturer that is assessing for you what needs to be fixed, is also calculating the price tag for it. Easy, Yes, Efficient? No.

Think about this real world example where Independent Racking Inspections & Audits saves you a bundle.
A company has, overtime, accumulated a number of damaged areas to their racking over multiple national sites. They search for a solution, they look for someone to assess it and repair it and have it out of their hair as quickly and painlessley as possible.

They look at the options, and make the wise choice of seperating this process – an Independent Racking Inspection Service, who’s report can be directly and easily actioned by the racking manufacturer.

Their reason for doing this – to get an expert report and to ensure that the manufacturer is not inflating their repair requirements.

The result to this real world customer? A saving of over 250k in the first year. The process? Just as painless and easy.
