The SEMA Approved Rack Inspector and Safety Inspection Procedure
The importance of safe storage equipment cannot be overstated. With the product stored often weighing many tonnes per bay, racking failure or collapse is always a real possibility. By taking the correct precautions this can be avoided.
Safety Inspections help to provide a safe working environment for you and your colleagues by checking the integrity of your storage equipment and promoting its maintenance. An annual Storage Equipment Safety Inspection is a requirement under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and the Provisions and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.
In addition to helping to provide a safe environment, a regular inspection and maintenance program will also help to ensure the continuity of your operation and therefore your ability to service your customers.
