Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Statutory Inspection?

Statutory inspections are mandatory examinations or assessments required by law or regulations to ensure compliance with specific standards or safety requirements.

What is a Non-Statutory Inspection?

Non-statutory inspections are completed on all types of work equipment that do not come under a specific standard or have a legal requirement. Equipment is examined to ensure it’s integrity under Health & Safety.

Why do I need an engineering inspection?

These are vital for creating a safe working environment for your employees and complying with health and safety legislation.

What might happen if I don’t have regular engineering inspections?

Unsafe operating practices can often lead to accidents which may result in injuries to your employees or the public. This can lead to costly liability claims often resulting in criminal prosecutions for companies or individuals.

How will an engineering inspection improve my legal position?

The HSE’s approved codes of practice and industry standards and manufacturers’ recommendations
require the demonstration of sensible risk management practices. Complying with this, can greatly improve your chances of avoiding criminal prosecution.

What equipment types need inspecting?

Typically, plant requiring inspection would include: Lifting equipment, Pressure systems, Boiler plant, LEV systems and general work equipment. This is not a comprehensive list. If in doubt contact the HSE or a qualified Engineer Surveyor.

Do I need to have brand new equipment inspected?

For some new equipment, a manufacturer or supplier would typically have carried out a thorough examination which should be evidenced in a Declaration of Conformity. This is not guaranteed and advise should be taken from your supplier.

How often should inspections take place?

An Engineer Surveyor would be best placed to give advice on this. Frequencies could span from every month to every few years.

How can we make the most of an Engineer Surveyor’s visit?

Have ready all documentation required for each piece of equipment
Schedule any ‘down time’ for the equipment to be inspected
Make appropriate staff and facilities available for the smooth running of the inspection
