The below definition explains what SMG considers to be racking: o Any type of framework of fixed or adjustable design which supports a load without the use of shelves (e.g., pallet racking) o Contains mechanical components/moving parts in the storage system (mechanical racking). o Stillages All other storage systems may be considered shelving or bookshelves. 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. The appointed supplier will undertake a full asset verification during the first visit to each location, and throughout the contract, maintain an up-to-date asset list, adding and removing items as required.

The supplier should be independent from any racking manufacturer and be able to inspect all the types of racking as outlined above. The inspection should include all elements required under the relevant legislation, SEMA guidelines and best practices. In addition, identify if and where safe working load or SEMA notices are required, check existing signage for correct details and locations.
