Racking Risks Typical of Stowmarket's Industries
On a typical Stowmarket visit, these are the issues we expect to examine in detail.
- Busy pick faces and fast pallet turnover put the front uprights of every run at risk from truck strikes; we measure each dent and bow against the tolerance rather than estimating it.
- 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 Stowmarket
PUWER 1998 requires racking to be maintained in a safe condition and inspected by a competent person, and HSE guidance HSG76 recommends an expert inspection at least every 12 months. Our Stowmarket reports follow BS EN 15635 and the SEMA Code of Practice, so the record stands up if the HSE or your insurer asks for it. If your insurer or a customer asks for proof of inspection, the Stowmarket report is the document to show them.
