Pallet Racking Inspection Antrim

Antrim serves as a major transportation warehousing and light manufacturing base in Northern Ireland requiring periodic safety audits. We cover Antrim as part of our work throughout County Antrim in the Northern Ireland. Each visit ends with a written report that lists every finding, its classification and what needs to happen next.

Racking Sites Across Antrim

Industrial and storage activity in Antrim includes Enkalon Business Park, Caulside Drive Industrial Estate and Antrim Commercial Park. We inspect racking on these sites and at any other business premises in the area. The report we produce for Antrim sites records the inspector's SARI number and signature, giving you a clear, dated record of the inspection.

Inspection Priorities for Antrim Sites

The kind of storage found in Antrim shapes where the inspection looks hardest.

• High-throughput logistics means constant forklift traffic, so impact damage to uprights, bent beams and missing beam locks are the findings we look for first.
• Raw material, component and work-in-progress storage is prone to overloading and to beams being moved without the load rating being rechecked — both are recorded if found.
• Column guards and run-end barriers are inspected, and gaps in protection are recorded alongside the damage they allow.

Your Legal Duty in Antrim

PUWER 1998 requires racking to be maintained in a safe condition and inspected by a competent person, and HSE guidance HSG76 recommends an expert inspection at least every 12 months. Our Antrim reports follow BS EN 15635 and the SEMA Code of Practice, so the record stands up if the HSE or your insurer asks for it. Between expert visits, a trained Person Responsible for Racking Safety should carry out regular checks at your Antrim site.
