Equipment Inspection

Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the Work at Height Regulations 2005 (WAHR) there is an obligation placed on all owners of access equipment to have the equipment fully inspected at regular intervals by a suitably qualified competent Inspector  to ensure it is fit and safe for purpose

Global Platforms can offer an inspection service covering three main equipment categories

Mobile Scaffold Towers – manufactured from aluminium or fibreglass
Custom built platform access – manufactured from aluminium, fibreglass or steel
Ladders & Steps – aluminium, fibreglass or combined

Each inspection will be completed by one of our qualified competent inspectors to include the examination and a detailed written report of all mobile scaffold towers, custom built platform access and/or ladders and steps. In all cases each item will be tagged, dated& registered on our system for the next inspection due date

The table below reflects the recommended inspection period based on the frequency and type of use for each individual item of access equipment:

Type of Use	Description	Recommended Inspection Intervals
Light	Infrequent maintenance and inspection work	52 weeks
Medium	Regular maintenance and inspection work	26 weeks
Heavy	Use in  production areas for everyday activities and periodic work	12 weeks

Global Platforms also has a complete suite of work at height training packages including IPAF and PASMA accreditation through to in house courses
