SEMA Racking Inspection Checklist
Regardless of whether you chose BSE UK for your SEMA inspections, you should be aware of the importance of inspecting your storage system regularly. In keeping with the HSE document "Warehousing & Storage: Keep it safe’, we would advise the following system for maintaining a safe rack inspection process:
- Immediate Reporting - report all damage as soon as it occurs. It's important that forklift truck drivers and warehouse operatives are aware of their responsibilities. A system should exist where all damage is reported immediately so the appropriate action can be taken.
- Inhouse Visual Inspections – a risk assessment should be carried out and a view taken as to what is a reasonable frequency for visual inspections to the racking. Many companies carry out weekly visual inspections to keep on top of damages and to identify any major issues. Formal records of these inspections should be maintained. Contact us for advice on your own internal inspections
- Expert Inspections by SEMA inspectors – A ‘technically competent’ person should be appointed to carry out a detailed inspection on the racking system at least once annually. Our independent rack inspectors are fully qualified to carry out these annual inspections.

Rack Inspection Check List
