Pallet Racking Inspection Witham

Witham is an established manufacturing and trade supply base along the A12 corridor requiring periodic safety checks. If your business in Witham uses pallet racking, we can inspect it to the SEMA Code of Practice and leave you with a clear, prioritised list of any repairs.

Industrial Areas and Transport Links in Witham

From Freebournes Industrial Estate to Eastways Industrial Estate, we inspect pallet racking at sites throughout Witham. After the Witham visit you receive a written report listing each defect by location, with a photograph, its measured damage and a red, amber or green classification.

Inspection Priorities for Witham Sites

Every Witham inspection covers the whole installation, with particular attention to the following.

• Raw material, component and work-in-progress storage is prone to overloading and to beams being moved without the load rating being rechecked — both are recorded if found.
• Load notices are compared with the beam levels actually installed, because levels moved since installation change the safe working load.

Your Legal Duty in Witham

For Witham 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 Witham site is a single unit or a large distribution building.
