Rack Safety Inspections


All racking and shelving systems are required to have regular inspections and be in efficient working order.

We offer an independent Health and Safety Inspection Service to ascertain the integrity of your racking and shelving systems. The inspection is carried out by Dexion trained engineers and are conducted in accordance with SEMA codes and guidelines. The inspection will ascertain the integrity of your racking and shelving and our engineer will advise of what is required to ensure you are in full compliance with current legislation.
