What We Focus On in Skelmersdale
Based on the work carried out in Skelmersdale, these are the points our inspectors check most closely.
- 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.
- Heavy parts and irregular stock put strain on beams, so we check deflection against the Span/200 limit and confirm pallets are sitting correctly on the beam line.
- Column guards and run-end barriers are inspected, and gaps in protection are recorded alongside the damage they allow.

Your Legal Duty in Skelmersdale
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 Skelmersdale. Keeping the annual report on file is the simplest way for a Skelmersdale business to show the racking is being managed.
