Pallet Racking Inspection Larne
Larne is a major ferry port and logistics gate for Northern Ireland requiring strict SEMA safety inspections. We cover Larne as part of our work throughout County Antrim in the Northern Ireland. Each visit ends with a written report that lists every finding, its classification and what needs to happen next.
Industrial Areas and Transport Links in Larne
Industrial and storage activity in Larne includes Port of Larne Business Park, Ledcom Industrial Estate and Redlands Estate. We inspect racking on these sites and at any other business premises in the area. You will not be left guessing after we inspect in Larne: every finding is located, photographed and explained in plain language.
Racking Risks Typical of Larne's Industries
Racking in Larne is inspected bay by bay; these are the areas that usually need the most care.
- 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.
- Beam connectors and safety locks are checked bay by bay, since a single missing lock can let a beam lift out.
Your Legal Duty in Larne
For Larne 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. Any red-risk findings at a Larne site are flagged before we leave, so the affected bays can be offloaded straight away.
See our SEMA racking inspection checklist for the measured tolerances, or read what the HSE expects.
