Inspection Services

inspection services

If your business has employees, uses plant machinery and equipment then it is probable that you have a duty to have the equipment inspected at regular intervals. Safety at Work can help decide what equipment needs inspecting and how often.

Our comprehensive inspection service provides the 'Competent Person' necessary to carry out the inspections and report on their findings. The service includes on-time examinations, managed by us and arranged with you. Our inspections are planned so that they cause minimum disruption to your business operations whilst providing you with the 'peace of mind' that comes with knowing that you have met the requirements of your statutory duties.

As a wholly independent operation we can offer more cost effective quotes when you deal with us directly. Please contact us for more information on how we can save your business money on your statutory inspection fees.
