PUWER and HSG76 Duties for Racking in West Yorkshire

Operators in West Yorkshire should treat racking inspection as part of their PUWER system of control. Regulation 5 requires equipment to be maintained; Regulation 6 addresses inspection when safety depends on installation conditions or deterioration. HSG76 applies those principles to warehousing by setting out immediate reporting, weekly or risk-based visual checks and an expert inspection no more than twelve months apart. The inspection should be completed by somebody with the training and experience to measure damage and apply the relevant criteria consistently.

The SEMA Red, Amber and Green System

SEMA's three-tier damage classification underpins the whole report. Each component we assess is graded, and the grade dictates the response:

What the Inspection Covers in West Yorkshire

The survey covers the eight safety-critical categories in our SEMA racking inspection checklist, including frames, beams, connections, bracing, baseplates, floor fixings, protection and load notices. The main SEMA racking inspection guide explains the measurement method and tolerances in full.

Planning an Inspection at a West Yorkshire Site

The survey scope should account for different buildings and rack ages, including any mezzanine or reserve storage. Clear aisle references and planned high-level access make inspection more effective without unnecessarily interrupting the rest of a West Yorkshire operation.

A Report Your West Yorkshire Team Can Act On

Findings are arranged by site zone and exact component, allowing teams to separate an urgent damaged upright from lower-priority guarding or signage work. The same location system then supports weekly PRRS checks and repair confirmation. Leeds and Wakefield logistics sites keep separate records from Bradford, Huddersfield or Halifax manufacturing storage.

PRRS Training Available Across West Yorkshire

Every West Yorkshire site we inspect needs a trained PRRS to keep the weekly checks going in the eleven months between expert inspections. We run that training in-house, at your own racking, so your nominated person learns on the installation they will actually be checking. Leeds and the surrounding area is covered on our regular West Yorkshire route, so dates are usually available within two to three weeks.

See weekly PRRS training for what the course covers, or the PRRS training guide for the full syllabus and booking detail.
