How we assist in achieving compliance

Survey your system and report our findings.

Establish the safe working limit of the system.

Draw up the Written Schemes of Examination (WSE) and set the examination intervals.

Produce a ‘real place’ schematic diagram of the system on CAD and identify the critical components with unique tag numbers.

Create a Regulations Compliance Management Dossier incorporating the Written Schemes of Examination, schedules, procedures, drawings and supporting information to demonstrate safe systems compliance management for the benefit of company or Health & Safety Executive audits.

We remove, examine/test, and refit the necessary critical components, eliminating the need for you to employ a third party.

Our bespoke computer software maintains the records for the systems and gives six weeks’ notification of when components are due for examination. This allows the work to be scheduled at a time that is most convenient for your processes and production.
