Statutory Inspections: Ensuring Safety and Compliance in the Workplace
Equipment Identification for Easy Tracking and Management
To make tracking and management easier, all equipment that has been inspected is marked up clearly. This allows companies to see which items are within current LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) requirements. Statutory Inspections Ltd uses durable marine quality stickers that show the next due date, barcodes, and numbered tags on all forklifts. For electrical items used in harsh engineering environments, they use Permatags, the UK’s strongest label, for PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) testing. Smaller lifting tackle is marked with numbered and coloured tags using cable ties.
Easy Access to Documentation
We provide all documentation as a PDF via email and on their secure online portal. This makes it easily accessible and searchable for up to 3 years. Companies can download reports and certificates whenever and however many times they need. For those with a fleet of vehicles and equipment, a unique schedule can be uploaded, and updates can be made following any inspections or additions. Additionally, certificates can be viewed and downloaded on mobile and tablet devices for easy access.
Prioritising Health and Safety
The health and safety of both our engineers and the company’s staff during site visits are taken very seriously by Statutory Inspections Ltd. Before a site visit, our office team will provide all the necessary Health & Safety Documentation via email. This includes risk assessments, method statements, Safe Working Processes, and evidence of required insurances. Engineers are also advised on any specific PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) or site requirements, including site induction. This ensures that the company complies with all Health & Safety Regulations and local requirements.
High Standards
We hold ourselves to the highest standards to provide our clients with a top-notch service at an unbeatable value. We have invested in a team of highly skilled and experienced engineers who are dedicated to completing inspections professionally and efficiently. This not only ensures the quality of our work but also minimises any disruption and downtime to your operation.
No contract - No worries
We understand that many businesses are hesitant to enter into lengthy contracts, so we offer a no-obligation quotation for your comparison. This means you can see our services’ value without being tied into any long-term commitments. Of course, if you do decide to use our services, we are more than happy to work with you on a long-term basis. We also offer multi-fleet options with fixed prices for 2 or 3 years, but only if requested by the client.
Going Green
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and have already achieved a 60% reduction through various initiatives. One of our main investments has been in digital technology, which allows us to provide online PDF documentation and an online web portal for easy access to reports. Additionally, our engineers use energy-efficient vehicles and we carefully map out their routes to minimise unnecessary mileage. By choosing our services, you can rest assured that you are also making a positive impact on the environment.
A breath of fresh A.I.R
Arrange
All Thorough Examinations are arranged from our Head Office in Leicestershire. After that, they are sent to our engineers who are strategically located across the country. Our booking team consider everything from site contact and site inductions to any specific site requirements, like risk assessments and method statements. Above all, we fully manage your inspection process.
Inspect
The inspection of your equipment is carried out by one of our fully trained and licensed engineers. They will conduct a Thorough Examination of the vehicle or equipment, including testing and driving, to conclude the inspection. Our engineers specialise in forklift truck and other lifting equipment inspections. For pressure equipment and fume extraction, you may have a different specialist engineer.
Report
A report is completed in real-time on a tablet (where permitted) by our engineer, this will include photos of the truck and any faults found. After that, it will be sent to our Head Office and a report of Thorough Examination will be produced. The finished report will be sent to you via email within 24 hours of the inspection and accessible anytime through our secure online portal.
Powered by TEMS
What makes our service unique is the use of the TEMS (Thorough Examination Management Services Ltd) database. Custom built to allow our engineers to go through a digital checklist whilst carrying out any examination. Therefore making it quicker and easier to complete high-quality Thorough Examinations. This information is then safely stored on the cloud, ready to be downloaded at any time by the customer for their records. For more information about TEMS, click here.
