Competence
Matched to the duty
Inspection judgement is applied against the regulation, the equipment condition, the way the item is used and the records available on site.
Trust and competence
Inspection evidence should be clear enough to act on.
City Inspection Services supports duty holders with independent LOLER, PUWER and PSSR inspection work across Scotland and the North East.
Competence has to match the equipment, regulation, site conditions and reporting purpose. The inspection should help a responsible person understand what was checked, what was found, what matters first and what evidence should be kept after the visit.
Independence
Separate from routine servicing
A formal inspection report should give the duty holder an impartial view of condition and evidence, not only a maintenance note.
Evidence
Written for close-out
Reports should identify the asset, location, condition, defect priority, recommended action and next inspection requirement.
What customers can check
Before booking an inspection.
A strong enquiry gives the engineer enough information to confirm scope, access and records before attending.
- Which equipment, pressure system or work equipment needs inspection
- Asset IDs, locations, previous reports and known defects
- Whether the visit needs isolation, shutdown, permits or tenant access
- Who will receive and act on the final report
- Which regulation or customer deadline is driving the enquiry
