Excavator Inspections
We offer a professional excavator inspection service for all-sized businesses that own and use excavators for work, ensuring legal compliance with PUWER 1998 regulations.
We provide a fully comprehensive excavator inspection and testing service for conventional ‘earth moving’ requirements which is a legal requirement under the Provision of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER). PUWER regulations state there must be an ‘appropriate maintenance regime and inspection of the machine at intervals specified by a competent person’, which is why it’s important to use a professional company like ourselves to carry out the inspections.
Excavator Testing and Inspection
What are excavator inspections?
Excavator inspections are categorised under PUWER regulations in which we will test and inspect critical components of safety that have the potential to affect the capability and safety of the excavator being operated. This involves measurement of the excavators overall functionality and safety, then if all is safe for use, sign-off of that machine, or raise concerns if any issues are found.
How often do I need an excavator inspection?
Unlike regulations such as LOLER 1998, PUWER 1998 actually doesn’t have a specific frequency, however we recommend a thorough examination at least every 12 months to ensure upmost safety when working with excavators.
Why should I use AV Statutory Inspections?
