Safety Equipment Inspection Service
We inspect and tag equipment used for heights safety
Why should I have my safety equipment inspected?
Inspection of work equipment plays a vital role in protecting the safety of the workers and technicians who use it. Equipment that has not been inspected by a competent person can result in injury or harm.
Not only is it important to regularly check all safety equipment to protect from accidents or incidents, it is required by law.
Safety equipment can fail and without inspection and maintenance, items of equipment can have faults that remain undetected for prolonged periods of time. This can result in an increased risk of injury or harm to your workers.
There should never be any doubt about the continued serviceability of an item of safety equipment.

All Skill Lab team members hold current NZQA unit standard:19359 to inspect and maintain equipment.
There are set minimum strength standards for different types of equipment. A certified person will know whether a piece of equipment should be retired or still has enough integrity to be in service.
There’s no set frequency as it varies between organisations, what type of equipment and how the equipment is being used.
