Pallet Racking Inspection Belfast

If you operate racking in Belfast, you are responsible for keeping it safe to use. We inspect installations across the city — sites linked to aerospace assembly, naval shipbuilding, maritime freight forwarding and food distribution among them — using the SEMA-aligned red, amber and green system.

Belfast's Storage and Distribution Network

Storage activity in Belfast is concentrated around Port of Belfast Logistics Zone, Boucher Road Industrial Area, Duncrue Industrial Estate and Titanic Quarter Commercial Zone, served by the M1, M2, M3 and A12. We regularly plan inspection visits around these locations.

Racking Risks Typical of Belfast's Industries

The sectors we see most in Belfast: aerospace assembly; naval shipbuilding; maritime freight forwarding; food distribution.

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.
Manufacturing and engineering stores often hold heavy, awkward or non-standard loads, so we check that load notices match the configuration actually installed.

Your Legal Duty in Belfast

Racking counts as work equipment under PUWER 1998. HSE guidance HSG76 and BS EN 15635 expect weekly in-house checks by a Person Responsible for Racking Safety plus at least an annual expert inspection — the part our SARI accredited inspectors deliver in Belfast.
