Why Racking Inspections Are Essential

Why Annual Racking Inspections Are Critical for Warehouse Safety

Warehouse racking faces constant risks: forklift impacts, overloading, daily wear, and accidental damage. Unaddressed issues can lead to collapses, injuries, downtime, fines, or voided insurance.

HSE guidance (HSG76) and SEMA Codes of Practice require:

• Weekly/monthly visual checks by your Person Responsible for Racking Safety (PRRS).

• At least annual expert inspections by a SEMA Approved Racking Inspector (SARI).

Early detection via professional racking inspections prevents costly repairs, ensures compliance, and protects your team and stock.
