Inspection Priorities for Kingston upon Hull Sites

Racking here typically supports port-centric logistics, offshore wind turbine manufacturing, chemical processing and food manufacturing and cold storage.

• Chilled and frozen stores get particular attention at floor level, where condensate collects around baseplates and anchor bolts.
• 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.
• Manufacturing and engineering stores often hold heavy, awkward or non-standard loads, so we check that load notices match the configuration actually installed.

Your Legal Duty in Kingston upon Hull

For Kingston upon Hull 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.

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