Inspect, maintain and repair

All storage equipment (such as pallet racking and cantilever racking) is considered to be work equipment and therefore should be inspected by a 'technically competent' person, maintained and repaired on a regular basis

Who are SEMA?

SEMA are the professional body for the storage industry and promote racking safety, installation and use of warehouse racking systems.  They influence the UK and European codes of practice for the design, supply and installation of storage systems across the manufacturer and distributor network including Approved Rack Inspectors, offering technical safety advice, SEMA training and SEMA rack safety inspections.

Frequency of racking inspections

Racking inspections should be carried out on a regular basis.  
For a lot of customers a single annual visit is fine, however a bi-annual (twice a year) can occasionally be recommended.
