Pallet Racking Inspection Dalkeith
Dalkeith supports trade counters food processing and regional logistics near Edinburgh requiring periodic safety audits. Across Midlothian in the Scotland, Dalkeith included, our job is to tell you plainly what condition your racking is in and what to fix first.
Where We Inspect in Dalkeith
Businesses at Hardengreen Industrial Estate, Thornybank Industrial Estate and Mayfield Industrial Estate are part of our Dalkeith coverage, as are occupiers of individual units elsewhere in the town. Each Dalkeith 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 Dalkeith
Every Dalkeith inspection covers the whole installation, with particular attention to the following.
- Busy pick faces and fast pallet turnover put the front uprights of every run at risk from truck strikes; we measure each dent and bow against the tolerance rather than estimating it.
- Baseplates and floor fixings are checked for missing anchors and damage where trucks turn at aisle ends.
Your Legal Duty in Dalkeith
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 Dalkeith 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 Dalkeith business to show the racking is being managed.
