Pallet Racking Inspection Taunton

Taunton acts as Somerset's central commercial engine requiring regular racking safety compliance. If your business in Taunton uses pallet racking, we can inspect it to the SEMA Code of Practice and leave you with a clear, prioritised list of any repairs.

Taunton's Storage and Distribution Network

Businesses at Crown Industrial Estate, Westpark 26 and Blackbrook Business Park are part of our Taunton coverage, as are occupiers of individual units elsewhere in the town. Inspections in Taunton are planned to keep disruption low, working aisle by aisle while your team carries on around us.

Racking Risks Typical of Taunton's Industries

Some risks are common to the operations described above, so our Taunton inspectors look closely at them.

• Bracing members are inspected for bends and loose bolts, which weaken a frame long before damage looks serious.

Your Legal Duty in Taunton

For Taunton 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. Keeping the annual report on file is the simplest way for a Taunton business to show the racking is being managed.

See our SEMA racking inspection checklist for the measured tolerances, or read what the HSE expects.
