Expert Racking Inspections by a SEMA Approved Racking Inspector (SARI)

Your racking is one of the most important assets in your warehouse. Damage, poor operating practices and general wear and tear can quickly create safety risks, operational disruption and costly repairs if left unchecked.

At True Space Solutions, we provide professional racking inspections to help businesses keep their storage equipment safe, compliant and fit for purpose.

Whether you operate a single warehouse or multiple sites, our inspections provide the reassurance that your racking installation remains safe, efficient and compliant with recognised industry guidance.

The Health and Safety Executive's HSG76 guidance recommends that pallet racking systems are regularly inspected and that an expert inspection is carried out at intervals of no more than 12 months by a technically competent person.

At True Space Solutions, expert inspections are carried out by our in-house SEMA Approved Racking Inspector (SARI), providing independent, professional assessments supported by detailed reporting and practical recommendations.

Warehouse racking systems are exposed to daily forklift movements, loading pressures and accidental impacts.

Without regular inspections, minor issues can develop into serious safety concerns that put people, products and operations at risk.

Regular inspections help you:

• Maintain a safe working environment
• Identify damaged components before they become critical
• Support compliance with HSE guidance and industry best practice
• Protect stock, equipment and personnel
• Prioritise maintenance and repair requirements
• Reduce the risk of costly downtime
• Extend the life of your storage equipment

Most importantly, inspections provide confidence that your racking installation remains safe for continued use.

Not every warehouse requires the same level of inspection. That's why True Space Solutions offers two inspection options depending on your requirements.

Our Damage-Only Inspection focuses specifically on identifying damage to the structural components of your racking system.

Carried out by our in-house competent person, this inspection is designed to identify damaged items that may require monitoring, repair or replacement.

The inspection focuses on key structural elements including:

• Upright frames
• Beams
• Bracing members
• Base plates
• Beam safety locks
• Rack protection systems
• Other structural components affected by impact damage

This option provides a practical and cost-effective way of identifying visible damage within your storage installation.

Important: A Damage-Only Inspection is not an independent expert inspection and should not be considered a substitute for an inspection carried out by a SEMA Approved Racking Inspector (SARI).

For businesses requiring a comprehensive independent inspection, we offer expert inspections carried out by our in-house SEMA Approved Racking Inspector.

In addition to identifying damage, a SARI inspection assesses the overall suitability, safety and operation of your storage installation.

A SARI inspection includes assessment of:

• Suitability of storage equipment
• Suitability of warehouse operations
• Correct pallet specification and condition
• Housekeeping standards
• Suitability of mechanical handling equipment
• Plausibility of load notices
• Compatibility of storage equipment
• Load stability
• General safety considerations

Following the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive report including:

• Detailed inspection findings
• Damage list
• Proposed corrective actions
• Rack configuration review
• Location of damaged items
• Recommendations for improving safety and compliance

Further information regarding independent expert inspections can be found within SEMA Technical Bulletin No. 5: https://www.sema.org.uk/technical-support/

Contact our team and we'll recommend the most appropriate inspection for your operation.

Unlike many inspection providers, we don't simply hand over a report and leave you to organise the next steps.

As specialists in inspection, maintenance, repair, design, supply and installation, we can support you with any remedial work identified during the inspection.

This means you have one trusted partner from inspection through to completion.

Our support can include:

• Replacement of damaged components
• Rack protection upgrades
• Layout modifications
• Safety improvements
• Ongoing maintenance programmes
• Storage system upgrades
• New installations

Our recommendations are always practical, proportionate and focused on keeping your operation running safely and efficiently.
