Within the manufacturing industry, workplace equipment is heavily relied upon. Having the proper equipment and machinery makes for successful work however, without proper inspection and maintenance, a range of serious risks could be caused...

High consequences from injured employees, non-compliance fines and reputational downfall. By following the useful steps below, you can ensure safe and effective use of equipment:

Knowing when to inspect Where there is a significant risk to

the operator of the equipment or others due to incorrect installation,

misuse of safety features, wear and tear of the equipment or under

exceptional circumstances.

Establish a routine Necessary maintenance and frequency of

equipment inspections depend on the type, location and use of

equipment. Typically, inspections should take place when equipment

is either installed, moved or reinstalled; after an accident which has

compromised safety features or at determined intervals throughout

the time the equipment is in use.

Knowing how to inspect It’s important to utilise resources such

as manufacturer or supplier handbooks, HSE guidelines or professional

guidance during these inspections. Crucial elements to check include

safety guards, structural supports, safety signage or warning

indicators, braking devices and emergency stops.

More importantly than anything, you need strong insurance.
