Statutory Inspections
Statutory Inspections cover various legislative requirements and industry best-practices to ensure equipment is safe for use and does not pose a danger to life. This can cover a multitude of equipment types from working at height PPE to a nitrogen accumulator situated in the hub of a wind turbine. Whether it is a requirement due to legislation or following best-practice from a standard, they are all completely different and can be confusing at times. 360 Wind can assist to ensure you are compliant with statute law and maintaining a safe workplace.
Statutory Instruments (SIs) are a form of legislation which allow the provisions of an Act of Parliament to be subsequently brought into force or altered without Parliament having to pass a new Act. The following regulations are an example of what may apply in your workplace, all of which fall under the umbrella of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.
