Pallet Racking Inspection Chesterfield
Chesterfield is North Derbyshire's principal industrial center requiring heavy engineering safety compliance. In Chesterfield we work to the same SEMA-aligned standard used on every site we visit, so your records stay consistent from one year to the next.
Chesterfield's Storage and Distribution Network
Sites we can reach in Chesterfield include Sheepbridge Industrial Estate, Holmewood Industrial Park and Chesterfield Trading Estate; smaller yards and single units are just as welcome. Each Chesterfield report sets out a prioritised repair list, so you can deal with red risks first and plan amber repairs within the recommended timescale.
What We Focus On in Chesterfield
On a typical Chesterfield visit, these are the issues we expect to examine in detail.
- Heavy parts and irregular stock put strain on beams, so we check deflection against the Span/200 limit and confirm pallets are sitting correctly on the beam line.
- Pallet condition and placement are noted where overhanging or damaged pallets put extra strain on beams.

Your Legal Duty in Chesterfield
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 Chesterfield 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. Keeping the annual report on file is the simplest way for a Chesterfield business to show the racking is being managed.
