Bendigo Mitchell were one of the first companies to be accredited to carry out Thorough Examinations of Fork Lift Trucks, now an annual mandatory requirement under the Health & Safety legislation. Ensure you comply with the law by calling us in to Thoroughly Examine all your trucks and issue you with necessary certificates.
Thorough Examination is a bit like a car's MOT.
Both a Thorough Examination and an MOT are means of certifying that, at the time of testing, all
components which have a bearing on safety have been formally inspected and assessed as being in
a safe condition.
Just as a car's MOT and 10,000 mile service are two different things, so Thorough Examination is
distinctly separate from a truck's regular maintenance programme (even though in both cars and
trucks some of the same items are included in both regimes). It is not part of maintenance - it
is an examination embedded in legislation. As a result, Thorough Examination would not normally be
included in a maintenance agreement, unless specifically requested.
Thorough Examination procedure meets the requirements of both LOLER 98 and PUWER 98 legislation. |
