Safe Lifting and Working at Heights 

Lifting accessories and personal protective equipment (PPE) play a crucial role in ensuring workplace safety. Lifting slings, chains, hooks, harnesses, and safety lines are often used intensively and are subject to wear and tear. Regular inspections are therefore essential to ensure employee safety.

Normec conducts independent inspections to determine whether lifting accessories and PPE are still safe to use. This gives you insight into the condition of the equipment and prevents damaged or worn-out items from continuing to be used unintentionally. We check the expiry date where applicable.

Independent Inspections 

Our inspectors verify whether the equipment meets applicable requirements and is safe for use. In doing so, we assess both the general condition and the functional performance of the various components.

Personal protective equipment for working at heights must be inspected at least once a year. After a fall, this equipment must always be re-inspected before it can be used again.

Greater control over safety and equipment management

By having lifting accessories and PPE inspected regularly, you’ll know exactly which items can be used safely and which need to be replaced or taken out of service.

An inspection by Normec helps you:

  • Increase employee safety
  • Comply with applicable inspection requirements
  • Identify wear and damage in a timely manner
  • Maintain control over the management of PPE and lifting accessories
  • Have a clear inspection report

Well-prepared for the inspection

Proper preparation ensures an efficient inspection. Therefore, gather all personal protective equipment and lifting accessories in a central and easily accessible location. It’s also helpful to have an inventory list, previous inspection reports, and any available manuals or manufacturer information ready.

This allows our inspector to conduct the inspection quickly and thoroughly, and ensures you have a complete overview of the inspection results afterward.

For a Safe Work Environment

Normec supports organizations across a wide range of sectors with independent inspections of safety equipment. Our inspectors have up-to-date knowledge of laws and regulations and conduct every inspection carefully and objectively.

Afterward, you’ll receive a clear report detailing exactly which PPE and lifting accessories can be used safely and which require attention or replacement. This way, you can be sure that your employees are working with reliable and approved equipment.
