Inspection scope summary

Ask the inspector to state sites, racking types, bays/levels, access restrictions, report format, damage escalation process, labels/load notices, travel and any repair work separately.

Inspection hierarchy

SEMA and HSE guidance support routine site checks plus periodic competent inspection. This tool estimates inspection effort from inventory; it does not rate damage, calculate load capacity or replace an inspector’s report.

Formula and meaning

Bays × levels and pallet locations + site/access conditions

What it means: The planner makes physical inventory and site conditions visible so a provider can price the same inspection scope.

A warehouse with many pallet locations across several zones needs a different inspection brief from a small accessible rack run.

Key concepts

Pallet location
A usable storage position within a racking installation; it helps describe inspection scale.
Expert inspection
A planned competent inspection distinct from daily operator observations and damage reporting.

Information to confirm

  • Accurate bay, level and location count
  • Damage history and restricted access areas
  • Report format and follow-up scope

Warehouse racking guidance comes from HSE

HSE HSG76 provides guidance on warehouse storage and racking safety, which the planner references for inspection-scope context without replacing an expert inspection.

HSE HSG76

Inspection scope needs a physical inventory

Because racking inspection depends on bay, level and location counts, the planner keeps the physical inventory visible before comparing provider scope, following HSG76 safety context.
