Racking Inspection Cost is a free introduction service operated by Ellul Solutions Ltd; we pass your details to relevant rack inspectors who quote you directly. We may receive a fee from providers; you pay nothing and are under no obligation. We are not an inspection company. We are an independent guide and are not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by the Storage Equipment Manufacturers' Association (SEMA) or the Health and Safety Executive; SEMA is named only to identify the industry scheme. Nothing here is legal advice: the annual expert inspection and the green, amber and red categories are industry good practice, not statutory requirements.
