Pallet Racking Inspection Borehamwood

Borehamwood hosts film studios pharmaceutical logistics and light manufacturing requiring periodic safety audits. Rackstor's inspectors are SARI accredited, and in Borehamwood we report on uprights, beams, bracing, baseplates, locks and load notices as a matter of course.

Borehamwood's Storage and Distribution Network

If you are based at Elstree Way Industrial Estate and Borehamwood Industrial Park or anywhere else in Borehamwood, the inspection can be booked around your shift patterns. The report we produce for Borehamwood sites records the inspector's SARI number and signature, giving you a clear, dated record of the inspection.

What We Focus On in Borehamwood

Every Borehamwood inspection covers the whole installation, with particular attention to the following.

• 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.
• Sensitive and high-value products make any racking failure costly, so our report gives a prioritised repair list the site can act on straight away.
• Column guards and run-end barriers are inspected, and gaps in protection are recorded alongside the damage they allow.

Your Legal Duty in Borehamwood

For Borehamwood businesses, the legal position is the same as anywhere in the UK: PUWER 1998 places the duty on the employer, HSG76 sets the expectation of an annual expert inspection, and BS EN 15635 defines the damage tolerances used to classify each defect. Between expert visits, a trained Person Responsible for Racking Safety should carry out regular checks at your Borehamwood site.
