Lifting Audit and Assurance
Auditing Lifting Operations
Auditing lifting operations is critical for identifying potential hazards and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Our comprehensive audit process encompasses various aspects of lifting, including equipment, personnel, and operational practices. Key components of our audit and assurance activities include:
• Compliance Checks: Verifying adherence to relevant regulations and standards, such as BS 7121, to ensure all lifting operations meet legal requirements.
• Equipment Inspections: Conducting thorough inspections of lifting equipment, including cranes, rigging gear, and safety devices, to confirm they are in good working condition and suitable for use.
• Personnel Competence Assessments: Evaluating the qualifications and training of personnel involved in lifting operations to ensure they possess the necessary skills and knowledge.
• Operational Review: Analyzing lifting plans, procedures, and execution practices to identify areas for improvement and ensure adherence to established safety protocols.
Assurance Processes
Our assurance processes provide a systematic approach to monitoring and improving lifting operations. Through regular audits and assessments, we ensure that all aspects of lifting are continuously evaluated and enhanced. Our key assurance activities include:
• Regular Audits: Performing scheduled audits of lifting operations to assess compliance with safety standards and operational procedures, identifying any discrepancies or areas for improvement.
• Performance Reporting: Documenting audit findings and providing detailed reports to stakeholders, highlighting compliance status and any necessary corrective actions.
• Continuous Improvement: Implementing recommendations from audits to enhance safety practices and operational efficiency, fostering a culture of safety and accountability.
• Feedback Mechanism: Establishing a feedback loop with personnel to encourage reporting of safety concerns and suggestions for improving lifting operations.
