Engineering & Manufacturing Comapnies
At Cert Safe Inspection Services Ltd, we support engineering and manufacturing businesses with professional, independent LOLER Thorough Examinations and PUWER Inspections.
We understand that lifting equipment is often an essential part of day-to-day operations. From overhead cranes and gantries to lifting accessories and workshop equipment, ensuring everything is properly examined and maintained is an important part of keeping your workforce safe and your business running smoothly.
Our aim is to make the inspection process straightforward, practical and reliable, with clear communication and professional reporting.
Independent & impartial
As an independent inspection company, we focus on examination and inspection rather than maintenance or repair.
This provides your business with an impartial assessment of your equipment, helping identify defects, deterioration or other issues that may require attention.
Our reports are designed to be clear and practical, giving you the information you need to make informed decisions about any necessary remedial work.
Supporting your business
We can provide inspections across a wide range of lifting equipment commonly found within engineering, manufacturing and industrial environments, including:
- Overhead cranes and gantry cranes
- Jib cranes
- Chain blocks and lever hoists
- Lifting beams and spreader beams
- Lifting accessories
- Shackles
- Eyebolts and lifting points
- Webbing slings
- Chain slings
- Pallet trucks and lifting equipment
- Workshop lifting equipment
- Goods and passenger lifts
- Bespoke and specialist lifting equipment
We can also assist with PUWER inspections where appropriate, helping businesses assess the safety and suitability of work equipment.
Flexible inspection arrangements
We understand that every engineering and manufacturing business operates differently.
You may have a single workshop with a relatively small amount of lifting equipment, or multiple sites containing hundreds of items that need to be managed and examined.
We can tailor our service around your requirements, whether you need:
One-off inspections
For new equipment, new premises or when you require an independent assessment.
Regular scheduled examinations
Helping you maintain an organised inspection programme and keep track of examination requirements.
Multiple-site inspections
We can coordinate inspections across different locations and help simplify the process for businesses with multiple premises.
Additional inspection capacity
If your usual inspection provider is unavailable or you have a particularly busy period, we can provide additional support.
A wider network when you need it
Although Cert Safe Inspection Services is based in Buckinghamshire, we have developed relationships with other competent inspection companies across the UK.
This allows us to utilise our network where inspections are required outside our normal geographical coverage.
For businesses with multiple sites, this can provide a practical solution without having to find and manage different inspection companies in every region.
Where we are unable to undertake an inspection ourselves, we can, where appropriate, refer you to a suitable company within our professional network.
Our approach is impartial and professional — the priority is making sure you have access to a competent inspection service that meets your requirements.
More than just a certificate
We believe an inspection should be more than simply turning up, completing a checklist and issuing a certificate.
Our engineers take a practical approach to examinations, looking at the condition and suitability of the equipment and clearly identifying any defects or areas requiring attention.
If an issue is identified, we aim to explain it clearly so that your team understands what has been found and can take the appropriate action.
We don't carry out remedial repairs, which means there is a clear separation between inspection and repair. Our role is to provide an independent assessment of the equipment.
Working around your operation
We appreciate that engineering and manufacturing environments can be busy and that equipment may be in constant use.
We will work with your team to arrange inspections at a suitable time and minimise disruption to your operation wherever possible.
For larger sites, we can also discuss inspection schedules that make sense for your business and equipment.
