Pallet Racking Inspection Southall
Southall is a prominent West London hub for ethnic food processing and distribution requiring ongoing SEMA compliance. Our SARI accredited inspectors visit sites in Southall for annual expert inspections, giving you a dated, signed record of the condition of your racking.
Southall's Storage and Distribution Network
From Southall Industrial Estate to Brent Road, we inspect pallet racking at sites throughout Southall. The report we produce for Southall sites records the inspector's SARI number and signature, giving you a clear, dated record of the inspection.
Inspection Priorities for Southall Sites
Some risks are common to the operations described above, so our Southall inspectors look closely at them.
- 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.
- Baseplates and floor fixings are checked for missing anchors and damage where trucks turn at aisle ends.
Your Legal Duty in Southall
For Southall 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 Southall 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.
