Warehouse Health & Safety and Rack Safety Inspections

We can provide HSE-advised inspections officiated by an independent SEMA Approved Rack Inspector

Legislation requires that your warehouse pallet racking and shelving systems must be inspected no less than annually by a competent SARI (SEMA Approved Rack Inspector) health and safety executive.

A warehouse safety inspection could help to fulfil your obligations under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998.

When working in or around warehouses its of the utmost importance to have a good knowledge of the health and safety procedures that should be carried out, and how to best operate machinery, lifting equipment and storage devices to avoid injuring staff or yourself. There have unfortunately been a high number of injuries and even deaths involving vehicles such as fork lift trucks, falling objects and from hazardous substances – fire safety warehouses has also proven to be an issue.

Appropriate training in the serious risks, safety measures, and knowledge on how to follow good housekeeping practices in your warehouse can help protect warehouse staff from serious injury and properly maintain a safe working environment. You should also ensure that all staff have access to eye protection, hard hats, and knowledge of the potential hazards.
SEC Storage can help you with all aspects of warehouse health & safety, racking safety and fire safety, and provide HSE-advised inspections officiated by an independent SEMA Approved Rack Inspector. We can also carry out pallet racking repairs should your racking be identified as being damaged.
