As with anything that is in constant use, you need to ensure that it’s in tip top condition and working within all current health and safety regulations.
Which means regularly checking and replacing anything that doesn’t meet the standard.
When it comes to warehouse management, it is always better to be safe than sorry, so making sure that you schedule in regular visual inspections as well as annual rack inspections will save you time and money in the long run.
Failure to carry out regular inspections with a qualified person could lead to prosecution if an accident were to happen, and the same goes for failing to suitably repair or replace damaged or broken equipment.

Standard & Regular Reporting.
Your employees can inspect your racking with weekly & monthly checks, record your findings and report back to PRRS (Person Responsible for Racking Safety). SEMA guidelines are to have employees trained to understand rack damage, load requirements, safe use and current responsibilities. These can be covered in our Rack Safety Awareness courses held at our King’s Lynn offices.
Expert Reporting.
With a minimum of once a year, you must ensure to have your warehouse racking inspected by a professional qualified racking inspector, or technically competent person who understands rack design. They will provide a full detailed damage report, layout and comment on areas that can be improved and highlight concerns that may have gone unnoticed on a standard report. SARIs or SEMA Approved Rack Inspectors are highly skilled in this area and we can offer this to all our clients. In busy warehouses you may want to consider having twice yearly inspections.
