Annual equipment inspections by a third party give an added level of protection from liability, ensuring all the gear on site is in proper functioning order. For example, Worksafe BC requires the inspection of fall protection gear, rigging and lifting devices, ladders on a regular basis. Having a third-party like IRWIN'S inspecting your equipment can save you time, money and inconvenience.
Every IRWIN'S equipment inspection concludes with a printed and digital report documenting the results. This ensures your compliance with every regulatory body you are operating under. Although this does not eliminate the need for daily inspections, it provides a higher level of assurance that your equipment is in excellent operating condition and is risk-free.
Our inspections are visual and rely on our team's expertise and industry knowledge. Some pieces of equipment, however, require inspection by the manufacturer (for example, type 3 SRLs) in order to maintain their standard of safety.
