What Is A Warehouse Racking Inspection?
Warehouse Racking inspections aren’t a once-a-year job box ticking exercise. They’re a continuous process which involves everyone in your warehouse – from trained employees, regular inspections right through to inspections by qualified professionals. Get it right and you can protect stock from damage, meet industry regulations and ensure workplace safety for your employees and customers.
To ensure your warehouse racking systems stays compliant you need to follow the inspection programme recommended in the Health and Safety Executive HSG76 Warehousing and Storage – a Guide to Health and Safety and by the Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA).
The racking safety process
Appointing a Person Responsible for Racking Safety (PRRS)
They play a key role in upholding standards, damage assessments and highlighting safety risks associated with your storage racking and shelving. Additionally, they are responsible for ensuring that necessary repairs are completed in a timely manner.
Train employees
Anyone working around racking can become safety advocates and should know how to work safely around the racking and damage identification on the structure.
Visual inspections
Conducted by trained members of your team, these inspections check for damage, ensure load notice signs are in place, correct load conditions are followed and submit a inspection safety report.
Annual inspections
These in-depth inspections of your warehouse racking systems can only be performed by an inspector who has the correct qualifications such as a SEMA Approved Racking Inspector (SARI).

Racking Repairs
Regular pallet racking maintenance is essential for long-term safety standards and performance. Addressing damage early helps to extend the lifespan of your storage system, reduce repair costs, increase safety and minimise disruption to your warehouse.
You can carry out minor maintenance work on your racking and shelving as long as your business carries out suitable method and risk assessments and repairs are carried out by employees who have been suitably trained such as a SEIRS course and possess suitable insurance. For damage on structural components or areas with significant damage you will need an assessment and repair work undertaken by a qualified professional like Teepee.
