The Necessity of Internal Inspections

While an annual Expert Inspection by a SEMA Approved Racking Inspector (SARI) is mandatory, it is legally insufficient on its own.HSE Guidance (HSG76) requires that every warehouse appoints P.R.R.S. (Person Responsible for Storage Equipment Safety);who must ensure weekly or regular internal inspections are performed.

Benefits of Training Your P.R.R.S. In-House


The Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) recommends that your racking is inspected regularly, frequently and competently by your appointed (PRRS) Person Responsible for Racking Safety to ensure that all risks can be identified and assessed. Such inspections should be undertaken weekly but their frequency can be based on factors such as the amount of damage and seriousness.
