Statutory Inspection

Legislation makes employers responsible for ensuring that certain work equipment exposed to conditions causing deterioration which is liable to result in dangerous conditions, is inspected at suitable intervals.

 

Inspection is a legal requirement. Plant / Machinery groups are defined into categories: Pressure systems, Lifting, Power presses and Process Machinery, Electrical and Exhaust/Ventilation systems. Statutory inspections are undertaken by qualified insurance company engineers. They visit the location of the plant, undertake an inspection and (if passed) provide you with an inspection certificate. Frequency of inspection depends on the type of plant.
