To ensure certain types of shelving are suitable for purpose, SMG have also deemed there to be a category of enhanced inspection shelving. This shelving is defined as: o Shelving which supports loads whereby one person could not comfortably lift the loads without assistance (based on manual handling guidelines) or the use of equipment such as ladders. o Extensive large shelving which supports a lot of material/stock The service should be on an annual basis unless the inspection results dictate otherwise.
