Why Do I Need a Pallet Rack Inspection?
Pallet racking is classed as work equipment and as such, under Health and Safety Legislation expert rack safety inspections must be carried out at least once a year by a SEMA Approved Rack Inspector (SARI) or other technically competent person.
Failing to have regular pallet racking inspections means that you are not in compliance with legislative requirements. This could prove a very costly mistake that may invalidate your insurance.
What are my legal obligations?
