Storage Equipment Inspections

If your business utilises storage equipment such as pallet racking, cantilever racking and shelving and mezzanine floors, then you have a  legal obligation and a duty of care to carry out an annual expert inspection, this is in addition to your in-house storage equipment inspections.

Whilst many companies may have employees that have attended some form of rack inspection training or Teepee ‘racking and safety awareness course’, this does not provide them with the necessary qualifications, technical competency or relevant insurance cover to carry out an annual ‘expert’ racking inspection to meet legal requirements.

Racking Inspections

SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association) is an organisation that is committed to promoting and extending the safe design, installation and inspection of pallet racking, cantilever racking, shelving and mezzanine floors.

As an approved SEMA – Advanced outlet, Teepee is constantly informed of ongoing changes within the industry. Our nationwide team of qualified inspectors pride themselves on the care and attention required to provide a full in-depth report, in line with the SEMA guide to the ‘conduct of racking and shelving inspections.

Established in 1987, Teepee’s qualified inspectors are fully insured, offering unbiased and impartial advice when storage equipment inspecting. Once an in-depth on-site inspection has taken place, our inspector will de-brief relevant supervisors/managers highlighting any areas that may require immediate off-loading and offer independent advice and solution options if any further issues are raised during the inspection.
