Why invest in equipment Inspections?
Its very easy to question the value of good #healthandsafety practices in the workplace. As a business owner, when you invest in a new piece of machinery it increases output, efficiency and the overall bottom line.
Where is the return when you invest in good safety management?
Or better still where is the value in investing in regular equipment #inspections ? (aside from meeting your legal obligations of course).
- Maybe you might be happy sending a staff member 10 metres up in the air in this MEWP basket, or
- Maybe you might sleep soundly without knowing the condition of your lifting equipment, or
- Maybe you don’t want to get an idea of the state of equipment within your business.
For the conscientious employer or business manager looking to …
✅ Meet their legal obligations as per LOLER and GA legislation,
✅ Protect workers enabling them to return home safely
✅ Reduce absences ensuring more efficient and productive workspaces
