OHS Environmental Measurements Periodic Inspection

Wear and deterioration of work equipment over time are significant sources of danger that can lead to major accidents. Every year, many people lose their lives or suffer serious health problems due to various incidents such as exploding boilers, overturned or cable-broken cranes, falling elevators, electric shocks, fires caused by electrical faults, fire extinguishing systems failing during a fire, and ventilation systems that do not provide adequate and appropriate air.
For this reason, periodic inspections of work equipment that may pose a hazard are a legal obligation.
