Independent Ex Equipment Audit
Having listened to our customers i.e. Asset Owners and Operators like yourselves, we developed the ‘Ex Equipment Audit’ to simulate a Government Inspector’s visit to site where he is looking at asset safety and in particular, the condition of Ex certified equipment and inventory records.
THE APR SAFETY EX AUDIT VERIFIES THE INTEGRITY OF CURRENT EX INVENTORY AND MAINTENANCE RECORDS AGAINST THE ACTUAL CONDITION OF SAFETY CRITICAL EX CERTIFIED EQUIPMENT INSTALLED ON SITE.
It is an independent assessment on the integrity of current Ex inspection records, bench-marking the asset against industry best practice and current UK & European legislation.
IT IS NON-INTRUSIVE AND DOES NOT DISRUPT ONGOING PRODUCTION OR MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES.
The fundamental difference between our audit and a Government inspector’s visit is in the deliverables. APR Safety provide a comprehensive independent report of factual information on the current situation as seen on site, together with a full set of recommendations addressing cost-effective improvements where deemed necessary.
A GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR ON THE OTHER HAND MAY ISSUE AN IMPROVEMENT NOTICE OR EVEN A FULL ENFORCEMENT NOTICE RESULTING IN ASSET CLOSURE.
Armed with the accurate, professional and independent factual information provided by our audit report, it is then possible to budget for cost-effective and achievable solutions.
The audit not only provides owners and operators with a high level of confidence in their inspection and data recording processes, but also identifies potential flaws in the current system if they exist.
KNOWING IF AND WHERE THOSE FLAWS EXIST ENABLES CORRECTIVE ACTION TO BE UNDERTAKEN BEFORE ASSET SAFETY IS COMPROMISED.
We can provide a wealth of information on our Independent Ex Equipment Audit and details of how we can help improve and maintain safety on your asset.
