Lot’s of R’s to get through in our series of short blogs looking at the A to Z of courses we do, the next R in our list is Report of Thorough Examination.
What is a Report of Thorough Examination? According to the HSE, a Report of Thorough Examination is a systematic and detailed examination of the equipment and its safety-critical parts. This is carried out at specified intervals by a competent person who must then complete a written report.
This is what our course covers, we take you through how to complete this written report. Upon successful completion of the training course you will be the competent person able to inspect small lifting equipment and accessories.
