‘You’re Only Doing Stat Inspections!’

SLIDE 2

“You’re Only Doing Stats!”

A common phrase used when the inspection company asks for a detailed description of the equipment to be inspected and gives an estimate of the time required to carry out said inspections.

Stats!’

Guidance for Duty Holders and Responsible Persons

SLIDE 4

What is a Statutory Inspection and why are they necessary?

A Statutory Inspection is defined as an Inspection as per Statute or an Inspection as required by current local Legislation and Regulation.

SLIDE 5

In the UK, a Statutory Inspection is carried out in conjunction with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998 and The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998.

SLIDE 6

What is a Statutory Inspection and why are they necessary?

Legislation ensures that employers and owners

f equipment safeguard personnel working with

and operating equipment and controls the way in which they use and maintain that equipment.

SLIDE 7

‘Ensure that work equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working

rder and in good repair.’

‘Ensure that where any machinery has a maintenance log the log is kept up to date.’

PUWER 1998 Regulation 5 States:

SLIDE 8

PUWER 1998 Regulation 6 States:

‘Ensure the results of and inspection activity is recorded and kept until the next inspection.’

SLIDE 9

LOLER 1998 Regulations State:

‘owners of equipment have a responsibility to safeguard people working with and operating lifting equipment,

SLIDE 10

LOLER 1998 Regulations State:

‘and to control the way in which they use and maintain that lifting equipment.’

SLIDE 11

Unfortunately, Statutory Inspections are seen as a ‘necessary evil’

STATUTORY INSPECTIONS NEED TO BE SEEN AS A ‘MUST HAVE’

SLIDE 12

Unfortunately, Statutory Inspections are seen as a ‘necessary evil’

STATUTORY INSPECTIONS, IF carried out correctly and acted upon accordingly, would have prevented the following incident examples

SLIDE 13

A Newhaven Waste Management Company and its Directors have been fined after an employee got his arm caught in a conveyor at a material recycling plant. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) into the incident which occurred on 12 February 2016, found the company failed to ensure the conveyor guards were maintained and fully functioning at all times.

SLIDE 14

Kamkee Food Limited has been prosecuted for health and safety breaches after one of its workers was left seriously-injured. Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard how, on 13 February 2017, the worker was seriously injured when the sleeve of his overcoat got caught in a large industrial food mixer at the company’s factory premises at Kingside Business Park in London. The injuries included broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a large blood clot under the armpit.

SLIDE 15

Wilko’s failure to act on warnings from staff and maintenance engineers that a goods lift at a Leicester shop was not correctly levelling with the floor has cost the firm £2.2m after an employee was left paralysed when a roll cage fell on her. “This was not the first time that the lift didn't level and something happened. Wilko was aware that staff had complained that it wasn't levelling. The lift engineers had given advice as to what should be done to rectify the issue.”

SLIDE 16

The safety of personnel using equipment at work is partly dependent on how that equipment is operated

SLIDE 17

The personnel using the equipment must receive adequate training to

perate the equipment

SLIDE 18

The safety of personnel using equipment at work is partly dependent on the care and maintenance of that equipment

SLIDE 19

The equipment must be subjected to a documented planned maintenance and inspection regime

SLIDE 20

The employer or owner of the work equipment used onsite must delegate a person (or persons) to be responsible for the onsite equipment. This person will be the site Duty Holder or Responsible Person. Who holds this role on your site?

SLIDE 21

The equipment Duty Holder must have an overview of all of the equipment he has a responsibility for:- This includes information from the equipment Manufacturers: User manuals, maintenance manuals, service and best practice guides, duty cycle evaluations and recommended service intervals &…

SLIDE 22

Installation date
Date into service
Last and next inspection date
Last and next service date
Actual equipment duty cycles
Results of last inspections
Completed pre-operational check list
Defects found
Defects rectified

Also includes information regarding the onsite equipment history:

SLIDE 23

To be confident that the equipment the Duty Holder is responsible for is kept in a good and safe condition, they must be involved in the allocation of the personnel who carry out the Statutory work. Due diligence must be carried out to ensure that the personnel who are carrying

ut this type of work are

trained and competent to do so.

SLIDE 24

‘such appropriate practical and theoretical knowledge and experience of the equipment to be examined as will enable them to detect defects or weaknesses and to assess their importance in relation to the safety and continued use of the equipment’ (ACoP LOLER 1998)

Competence is defined as –

SLIDE 25

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

Competent Statutory Inspectors and trained Service Technicians provide an accurate regular assessment of the condition of your onsite work equipment.

SLIDE 26

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

Inspectors and Service Technicians provide detailed reports, which are valuable information for the reference of Duty Holders:

SLIDE 27

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

All work equipment must be subjected to a pre

perational check by the
perator or user, as defined

in the Manufacturers’ manuals

SLIDE 28

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

All pre operational checks by the operator or user, must be filed and saved for reference by the site

SLIDE 29

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

What is the point to file save all of this information?

SLIDE 30

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

Because Legislation demands it

SLIDE 31

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

This information is also referenced for the following;

SLIDE 32

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

For reliability data for future purchases, possible warranty or modification information of

nsite work equipment.

SLIDE 33

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

For future Risk Based Analysis for Written Schemes

f Examination for the onsite work equipment.

SLIDE 34

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

A Written Scheme of Examination can be drafted and implemented by a suitably independent and competent person

SLIDE 35

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

The author of this Scheme will rely heavily on historic data

f the equipment to draft this document

SLIDE 36

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

Written Schemes are becoming more commonplace as there is a drive to reduce costs and visits to the equipment

SLIDE 37

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

To highlight any gaps in training and target training refreshers and updates for equipment operators in real time and when differences or modifications occur to the onsite equipment.

SLIDE 38

Inspection and Maintenance Regimes

A proactive planned preventive maintenance program is crucial to improving safety, efficiency and productivity.
