Pallet Racking Inspection Hayes
Hayes sits adjacent to Heathrow Airport acting as a high-density air freight and logistics hub requiring strict racking safety. Rackstor Safety Inspections carries out SEMA-aligned pallet racking inspections in Hayes and across Greater London, with every defect measured, classified red, amber or green, and written up in a report you can act on.
Hayes's Storage and Distribution Network
Hayes's racking is found across Hayes Industrial Park, Prologis Park Heathrow and Uxbridge Road Trade Park. Our inspectors plan visits around these locations and cover the surrounding parts of Greater London too. The report we produce for Hayes sites records the inspector's SARI number and signature, giving you a clear, dated record of the inspection.
Racking Risks Typical of Hayes's Industries
The kind of storage found in Hayes shapes where the inspection looks hardest.
- In high-volume operations the lower levels and aisle-end frames take most of the knocks, so we check frame protectors, column guards and beam connectors at every run end.
- Any alterations made since the last inspection are checked against the original configuration.
Your Legal Duty in Hayes
Racking counts as work equipment under PUWER 1998. HSE guidance HSG76 and BS EN 15635 expect weekly in-house checks by a Person Responsible for Racking Safety plus at least an annual expert inspection — the part our SARI accredited inspectors deliver in Hayes. Our Hayes report gives you the evidence that this duty is being met.
