Is an annual racking inspection a legal requirement?

In most UK warehouses, yes. Under PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) employers have a duty to ensure pallet racking and storage equipment remain safe for use. HSE guidance recommends expert inspections are completed at least every 12 months by a competent inspector.

Regular inspections not only help you meet your legal obligations but also reduce the risk of accidents, damaged stock and costly downtime.
