Why is the inspection of work equipment important?
The inspection and regular inspection of work equipment are crucial for several reasons:
- Employee safety – Regular inspections prevent accidents and reduce risks in the workplace.
- Legal compliance – Ensuring compliance with regulations, avoiding potential penalties.
- Extended equipment lifespan – Timely identification and rectification of faults contribute to the longevity of equipment.
- Work efficiency – Properly functioning equipment ensures smooth operations and increased productivity.
The goals of preventive inspection
Preventive equipment inspections are mandatory:
- Before the first use of new equipment.
- After modification, repair, or malfunction.
- After relocation to a different site.
These inspections serve to determine whether the equipment is completely safe for use and compliant with technical standards and the manufacturer's instructions.
What do our inspections cover?
Our services include:
- Visual inspection – Examination of equipment to identify physical deficiencies.
- Functional tests – Checking the operation of the equipment under real conditions.
- Technical evaluation – Determining compliance with applicable standards.
- Report with findings – A detailed document containing the condition of the equipment and recommendations for further actions.
