SEMA Approved Pallet Rack Inspection for Optimal Warehouse Safety
At Storage Equipment Safety Service Ltd (SESS), we understand that the safety and efficiency of your warehouse rely on the condition of your storage systems and receiving frequent Pallet Rack Inspection. Regular inspections of pallet racking and other storage equipment are not just a legal requirement. They are crucial for preventing accidents, safeguarding your inventory, and ensuring employee well-being. Our services include detailed pallet rack inspections and cover all types of storage systems, such as cantilever, push-back, drive-in, and bespoke racking systems.
The Importance of Regular Pallet Rack Inspection
Pallet racking systems are classified as work equipment under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). This classification means that pallet racking must undergo regular inspections to comply with UK Health and Safety regulations. Over time, your racking may suffer wear and tear due to the movement of goods, forklift impacts, or changes in warehouse layout. These factors can compromise the integrity of your racking, leading to potential safety hazards.
A professional pallet rack inspection identifies these risks early, allowing you to take corrective action before an accident occurs. Our inspections help you maintain compliance with legal standards, extend the lifespan of your racking, and protect your inventory and workforce.
Why Choose SESS for Your Pallet Racking Inspection?
SESS stands out by offering unbiased, comprehensive inspections. Unlike companies that manufacture or sell racking systems, we have no conflicts of interest. Our sole focus is on assessing the safety and stability of your storage systems, providing impartial advice and peace of mind.
Our inspectors are trained to assess all types of storage equipment, not just pallet racking. Whether you have cantilever racking, push-back racking, drive-in systems, or bespoke setups, we ensure their safety. Additionally, we offer mezzanine floor structural surveys, providing thorough evaluations of these critical storage platforms.
How Our Inspections Work
Our inspections are thorough and systematic. We use a traffic light system to classify any identified issues:
- Green: The racking is slightly damaged but safe to use.
- Amber: Damage has occurred and should be addressed promptly.
- Red: Severe damage, offload immediately and repair.
During the inspection, our team walks through each aisle, visually examining all racking components, including frames, beams, and safety accessories. We check for misalignment, overloading, and any signs of damage. We also assess the overall stability of the racking system to ensure it meets all safety standards.
Once the inspection is complete, we provide a complete report highlighting any areas of concern and offering professional recommendations for remedial action. Our goal is to ensure your warehouse remains a safe and compliant environment for all employees.
Our Additional Services
While pallet rack inspection is crucial, SESS offers other services to enhance warehouse safety. We conduct mezzanine floor structural surveys to ensure these important structures are sound and capable of handling their loads. By inspecting all aspects of warehouse storage, we provide a comprehensive safety solution that covers every corner of your facility.

One of the key benefits of choosing SESS is our independence. Since we do not sell, manufacture, or repair racking systems, our inspections are entirely unbiased. Our only priority is the safety of your storage equipment. We are dedicated to identifying potential risks and providing all necessary information, ensuring your warehouse operations run smoothly and safely.
