Your Trusted Independent Partner in Engineering Inspections
At Workplace Inspection Services Ltd, we offer a comprehensive range of engineering inspections to help businesses stay compliant with key health and safety regulations.
Engineering inspection is specifically undertaken to identify any faults and defects in machinery before they present an unacceptable risk. It must be carried out by a ‘competent person’ – that is someone who possesses the relevant practical and theoretical knowledge, plus requisite training and qualifications to do so. If the inspection reveals a serious defect, the user/owner may be required to take the equipment out of action until it has been fixed.
As you might expect, different regulations are applicable for different types of equipment. This means that there’s no consistent rule for how often machinery must be inspected.
