Pallet Racking Inspection Rushden
Rushden is transitioning into modern logistics and trade distribution requiring reliable racking safety compliance. If your business in Rushden uses pallet racking, we can inspect it to the SEMA Code of Practice and leave you with a clear, prioritised list of any repairs.
Rushden's Storage and Distribution Network
Locations we cover in Rushden include Sanders Lodge Industrial Estate, Wymington Road Industrial Area and Crown Way. Wherever your racking is installed, the inspection follows the same SEMA-aligned method. Each Rushden report sets out a prioritised repair list, so you can deal with red risks first and plan amber repairs within the recommended timescale.
What We Focus On in Rushden
Every Rushden inspection covers the whole installation, with particular attention to the following.
- 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.
- Frames are checked for out-of-plumb against the BS EN 15635 limit, measured rather than judged by eye.
Your Legal Duty in Rushden
For Rushden 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. The same rules apply whether your Rushden site is a single unit or a large distribution building.
