We have SEMA staff trained to carry out monthly inspections of all our site racking, records condition, identify any issues etc . I am now being asked to get 12 monthly inspections carried out by external providers. I am not sure its really required, if the monthly checks are in place?

What do others do?


Many Thanks

I am training through a course provider (SEMA & IOSH) approved.

I do the one's within my work, When I did the training I was advised to get external people in but was told, that since I'm trained there was no need, just advisory as external examiners aren't influenced by the company.

‘Expert’ inspections

646
A technically competent person should carry out inspections at intervals of not
more than 12 months. A written report should be submitted to the PRRS with
observations and proposals for any action necessary.

647
A technically competent person might be a trained specialist within an
organisation, a specialist from the rack supplier, or an independent qualified rack
inspector.
