Machinery used for the lifting, lowering and movement of loads, under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER), to ensure it remains safe for use throughout its lifetime.

Typical examples include passenger lifts, all types of cranes, mechanical handing plants, excavators and vehicle lifts.

We also examine equipment under the Working at Height Regulations, including restraint systems, ladders and safety harness and the Workplace Regulations, which could include escalators, moving walks and industrial doors.

A Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) system is examined under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations (COSHH) to ensure it is performing correctly and safe for use.

Equipment types vary from welding extraction and fume cupboards in schools and colleges, through to spray booths and multi point exhaust extraction in car garages.

Fixed wiring inspection and testing is conducted in support of the requirements of the Electricity at Work Regulations: 1989.

The inspection and test is an essential part of a preventative maintenance program to ensure the integrity of a buildings electrical wiring system, and to help in preventing damage to property, injury to employees and loss of important data through power failures.

The inspection focuses on ensuring the correct safety devices have been fitted and there are no obvious signs of deterioration, damage or wear. We also cover the in-service inspection and testing of electrical equipment (formerly PAT) to ensure its continued safe use by the user.
