Independent Ex Equipment Health Check
As an asset owner or operator it is your legal responsibility to provide a safe place of work for your employees.
By neglecting the maintenance of Ex equipment you may be compromising the safety of those employees and in addition, exposing yourself and your company to possible legal proceedings.
Similarly, when aging installations change hands, the asset becomes the legal responsibility of the new owner. that responsibility includes the upkeep and management of all inherited safety critical elements i.e. the Ex Certified Equipment.
The Ex items installed on your site will form essential components of the asset safety critical emergency shutdown and fire & gas systems. The integrity of those components will be fundamental to the safety of the asset and all personnel on site.
- Do you fully understand the condition of your Ex equipment?
- How safe are your safety critical elements?
- Do you know the whereabouts of all installed Ex equipment?
- Does your Ex inventory hold full technical and maintenance data on all Ex items and does it fully reflect the actual condition of installed equipment?
A Government Inspector’s visit to site will establish answers to those and many more fundamental integrity issues.
NEGLIGENCE IN ANY OF THOSE AREAS COULD RESULT IN AN ENFORCEMENT NOTICE AND ASSET CLOSURE.
The APR Safety Ex Health Check is a method to quickly establish the condition of safety critical Ex certified equipment installed on site providing owners and operators with factual integrity information that can be used to ensure compliance with statutory Ex equipment legislation and to ensure future inspection and maintenance strategies are cost-effective and targeted.
THE EX HEALTH CHECK IS NON-INTRUSIVE AND DOES NOT DISRUPT ONGOING PRODUCTION OR MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES.
It is the second part of the audit evaluation process aimed at establishing the overall condition of Ex certified equipment and maintenance records and is undertaken in conjunction with the first part of the evaluation, the APR Safety independent Ex audit which itself interrogates maintenance records.
