Pallet Racking Inspection Dumfries

Dumfries is the principal industrial center for South West Scotland requiring reliable racking safety compliance. Our SARI accredited inspectors visit sites in Dumfries for annual expert inspections, giving you a dated, signed record of the condition of your racking.

Dumfries's Storage and Distribution Network

Businesses at Cargenbridge Industrial Estate, Heathhall Industrial Estate and Braswell are part of our Dumfries coverage, as are occupiers of individual units elsewhere in the town. Load notices, beam locks and floor fixings are all checked during a Dumfries inspection, not just visible impact damage.

What We Focus On in Dumfries

On a typical Dumfries visit, these are the issues we expect to examine in detail.

• Pallet condition and placement are noted where overhanging or damaged pallets put extra strain on beams.

Your Legal Duty in Dumfries

For Dumfries 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 Dumfries report is the document to show them.

See our SEMA racking inspection checklist for the measured tolerances, or read what the HSE expects.
