Maintaining Safety and Compliance Through Annual Inspections

Good employees are key components to success and one of a business’s most valuable resources. That’s why employee safety is a top priority for most businesses. An important part of keeping employees safe are the required annual inspections on the equipment in a business’s facility.

Cranes are one of those pieces of equipment that need to be carefully inspected to assure the safety of the crews working around them. It is critical that their load limits are tested and certified, along with a thorough physical inspection for functional deficiencies. The same is true for all other types of hoisting equipment.

Pressure valves and vessels also require testing by individuals that have been trained and certified in this process. Just like the cranes, a malfunction in this area of a company’s operation could be quite dangerous for anyone in the vicinity of the incident.

In addition to the safety factor, these inspections or required to keep a business’s operation in full compliance with government codes and regulations. Getting behind on these mandatory inspections can cost you financially, as well create potential hazards for your employees.

Contracting with an outside source such as DMS, to schedule and provide those annual inspections, can make sure that every piece of equipment is inspected thoroughly and on time.
