How We Conduct a Racking Inspection:
At A-Z Rack Inspections Ltd, our professional racking inspections are designed to ensure the safety and compliance of your warehouse racking systems. Our inspections follow the SEMA Code of Practice for rack safety inspections, ensuring the highest standards are met.
SECTION 1 – SCOPE OF WORKS:
This section outlines the key elements included in a visual, floor-level racking inspection of pallet racking in a working warehouse. The inspection is conducted according to the SEMA damage classification system.
The inspection includes an overall assessment of the warehouse and covers:
Load Notice Data Check
System Verticality
Beam Deflection
Rack Damage Inspection
Completion of Red Risk Notifications and recommended action
Additionally, we perform a thorough warehouse environment inspection, including:
Storage Equipment Suitability
Installation Assessment
Pallet Inspection
Gross Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Assessment
Housekeeping Review
Not included in the standard racking inspection:
Detailed inspection of MHE
Detailed inspection of the floor slab
We can also perform high-level inspections using a scissor lift, which requires a current license. Please note, this may incur additional costs due to the extended time required and the cost of MHE usage.
SECTION 2 – Red Risk:
Upon completing the rack inspection, our SEMA Approved Rack Inspectors will immediately debrief your site contact, highlighting any red-risk concerns and urgent health and safety issues that require immediate attention.
SECTION 3 – Report:
A detailed Rack Inspection Report will be delivered within 10 working days of the inspection. This report will include:
A comprehensive damage report, specifying the nature and location of the damage
Recommendations for remedial action
Comments on all aspects covered in the inspection
Supporting literature and references
A list of materials needed for the required repairs
Our racking inspection reports meet the standards of HSG 76, as required by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), ensuring your warehouse remains compliant with current safety regulations.
