Our experienced Appointed Persons can audit any project where lifting operations are being carried out. This gives you an independent, third-party assessment of the lifting standards on your site. The report issued to you will include a check of all documentation that is in place for the lifting equipment being used, including Cranes, MEWPS, Telehandlers and Hoists. Thorough Examinations, Maintenance and Daily / Weekly Checks. Activities out on site are also monitored, giving you transparency from both a practical and clerical point of view.

The audit also details any findings and recommendations, some will include time scales for close out depending on the severity.
