PPE Inspection

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is only effective if it’s fit for purpose, properly maintained, and fully compliant with legislation.

We provide thorough PPE inspections in line with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) and the Work at Height Regulations, ensuring your equipment is always safe to use.

Our qualified inspectors deliver clear, detailed reports so you know exactly what’s compliant, what needs servicing, and when replacements are required.
