Fully Certified and Compliant Racking Inspections
All pallet racking inspections are carried out in full compliance with SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers’ Association) standards, ensuring the highest levels of safety, accuracy, and industry best practice. Inspections are conducted exclusively by certified SARI (SEMA Approved Racking Inspector) professionals, providing confidence that all assessments are reliable, consistent, and HSE compliant.
Annual Racking Inspections
Annual pallet racking inspections are essential for maintaining a safe warehouse environment and meeting legal and operational compliance requirements. These inspections help identify potential risks early, addressing structural integrity, operational performance, and safety concerns before they escalate into costly failures or accidents. Regular inspections also support ongoing warehouse efficiency and demonstrate due diligence in health and safety management.
Visual Pallet Racking Inspection Process
Visual pallet racking inspections are typically conducted at ground level by an experienced and qualified SEMA approved racking inspector. Where required, inspections at height can also be arranged to ensure a comprehensive assessment of all rack components, our inspectors are IPAF & harness certified. Prior to the inspection, a detailed risk assessment and safety analysis is completed to ensure safe access, minimise disruption to operations, and confirm that inspection conditions meet all safety requirements.
Documentation Review
As part of the inspection process, the racking inspector may request access to internal inspection records maintained by the Person Responsible for Racking Safety (PRRS). Reviewing these records helps verify that routine checks, maintenance procedures, and corrective actions are being carried out in line with recommended guidelines and technical standards.
Following completion of the pallet racking inspection, you will receive a comprehensive written report that provides clear, actionable insights, including:
Detailed Assessment
A detailed assessment of pallet racking systems, equipment condition, and technical specifications.
Identification
Identification of damaged or non-compliant areas, supported by a detailed site layout plan.
Recommendations
Practical and cost-effective recommendations to reduce damage, improve safety, and extend rack lifespan.
Photographic Evidence
Photographic evidence to support findings and aid corrective action.
Clear Summary
A clear, categorised summary of observations aligned with SEMA damage classifications.
Red Risk – Immediate action required
Amber Risk – Damage requiring monitoring or planned repair
Green Risk – Acceptable condition with no immediate concern
This structured approach ensures full transparency, prioritises safety, and supports informed decision-making for ongoing warehouse racking management.
