Pallet Racking Inspection Knowsley

Knowsley is one of the largest industrial zones in the UK containing heavy manufacturing and food distribution hubs requiring regular safety sign-offs. In Knowsley 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.

Knowsley's Storage and Distribution Network

Industrial and storage activity in Knowsley includes Knowsley Industrial Park, Image Business Park and Britannia Park. We inspect racking on these sites and at any other business premises in the area. The report we produce for Knowsley sites records the inspector's SARI number and signature, giving you a clear, dated record of the inspection.

What We Focus On in Knowsley

Some risks are common to the operations described above, so our Knowsley inspectors look closely at them.

• 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.
• Baseplates and floor fixings are checked for missing anchors and damage where trucks turn at aisle ends.

Your Legal Duty in Knowsley

For Knowsley 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 Knowsley report is the document to show them.
