If you work in any level of trade, construction or manufacturing, you will be well aware of the various statutes, regulations and legislation that all companies must adhere to.
Having regular checks and engineering inspections on all processes and equipment is a must, in order to ensure your organisation is compliant.
If the right checks are not in place, your equipment could be a serious health and safety risk. You could be reported to the HSE. If a member of staff is injured as a result of your negligence, you could be open to a costly court case or sued.
