Racking Risks Typical of Braintree's Industries
The kind of storage found in Braintree 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.
- Pallet condition and placement are noted where overhanging or damaged pallets put extra strain on beams.

Your Legal Duty in Braintree
For Braintree 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. If your insurer or a customer asks for proof of inspection, the Braintree report is the document to show them.
