Working at height: inspection and maintenance
When working at height, it is essential that equipment can be used safely and is inspected periodically. Different standards and inspection requirements apply depending on the type of equipment. Examples include fall protection in accordance with Dutch standard NEN-EN 365, as well as MEWPs, scaffolding and other equipment used for safe working at height.
Working at height involves risks. Regular inspections help identify wear, damage and unsafe situations in time and ensure the safety of employees. In addition, proper registration helps organisations comply with regulations and standards while always maintaining insight into the inspection status of their equipment.
Centix supports this process with standard maintenance and inspection plans for various types of working-at-height equipment, such as safety harnesses, safety nets, positioning lanyards, karabiners and MEWPs. Inspections can easily be carried out digitally via Centix Online or the Centix OnSite mobile app. Findings, photos and deviations are recorded immediately, after which reports and inspection certificates automatically become available in the system and customer portal.
Maintenance and inspection plans for working at height equipment
MEWP
The maintenance and inspection plan for a MEWP consists of inspection questions only. The plan is carried out annually by most organisations and is divided into different groups such as documentation, control panel, chassis, slewing system, upper structure, platform and drive system.
Karabiner / Scaffold hook
The maintenance and inspection plan for karabiners and scaffold hooks includes inspection points covering the condition of metal parts, connectors and contamination. This helps ensure these items remain safe to use during working-at-height activities.
Positioning lanyard
With the maintenance and inspection plan for positioning lanyards, you can easily inspect the condition of the rope, metal parts and connectors. Inspections help identify wear and damage in time and ensure safe use.
Safety harness
The maintenance and inspection plan for safety harnesses consists of clear inspection points and is carried out annually by most organisations. The plan includes checks on labels, stitching, buckles and the general condition of the harness.
