Pallet Racking Inspection FAQ

Forklift impact damage
Bent uprights or beams
Missing locking pins
Unsafe loading
Early identification helps reduce the risk of accidents, stock loss, and costly downtime.

Benefits include:
Expert structural assessment
Clear RAG risk classification
Detailed reporting
Practical recommendations
This helps improve warehouse safety and compliance.
Aren’t all racking inspectors SEMA approved?
No. Not all racking inspectors are SEMA approved.
A SEMA Approved Racking Inspector has completed specialist training and assessment to inspect racking systems to recognised industry standards.
Will guidance be provided after the inspection?
Yes.
Following the inspection, you will receive a detailed report outlining any issues, risk classifications, and recommended corrective actions.
We also provide guidance to help you understand and prioritise required actions.

Why do I need a pallet racking inspection?
Pallet racking and storage equipment fall under PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) and should be maintained in a safe condition.
The Health and Safety Executive recommends that racking is regularly inspected, including a professional inspection by a technically competent person at least every 12 months. A SEMA Approved Racking Inspector (SARI) meets this requirement.
Relevant guidance includes:
HSG76 – Warehousing and Storage
Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992
PUWER Regulations
An annual pallet racking inspection helps ensure your racking is installed correctly, has accurate load notices, and remains safe for use.
Are racking inspections a legal requirement in the UK?
Although UK law does not specifically state “annual racking inspections,” employers have a legal duty to ensure racking systems are safe and properly maintained.
Regular inspections help demonstrate compliance with PUWER and general health and safety requirements.
How does proper pallet placement improve racking safety?
Correct pallet placement helps distribute weight safely across the racking system.
Poor pallet placement can lead to uneven loading, structural stress, and increased risk of damage or collapse.
Should a racking inspection only be carried out annually?
No. While annual professional inspections are recommended, regular in-house visual checks should also be carried out.
Frequent checks help identify damage early and support safer warehouse operations.
