Your partner for warehouse inspection and maintenance

A warehouse racking inspection should be an instrumental part of your system maintenance, so we specialise in building long-term partnerships with our clients by providing ongoing support with a dedicated and SEMA-approved warehouse racking inspector.

 

  • Cost savings due to fewer major repairs
  • Ensure compliance with stringent regulations
  • Protect your staff
  • Avoid stock damage and loss

Why are regular racking inspections important for warehouses?

Receiving a regular warehouse racking inspection is more than just advisable, they’re necessary and legally required.

 

  • Required by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
  • Without an inspection, you risk harm to employees and stock damage
  • Insurers may invalidate policies without records of inspections
  • Our SEMA-approved warehouse racking inspector, Sean, will help you remain compliant with the relevant safety standards.

Evaluating structural stability

Over time, your warehouse racking will be subject to high rates of wear and tear and be responsible for holding large amounts of weight at elevation. Any flaws could be detrimental and dangerous. Our warehouse racking inspector will evaluate your whole system, carefully looking for potential hazards.

Compliance with safety standards

Sean will ensure your racking system adheres to all necessary legislation and follows the SEMA code of practice to spot and categorise damage and hazards according to risk factors during the warehouse racking inspection.
