A 'Thorough Examination' is a statutory requirement if you own or operate any lifting, pressure or LEV equipment. You are required by law to ensure it holds a report of ‘Thorough Examination’.
A report is issued which identifies whether or not your equipment is safe to use, and/or advice that may be needed to avoid risks in use. Failure to comply can leave you open to prosecution and could invalidate your insurance, or much worse, cause a serious accident or fatality arising from faulty equipment.
A 'Thorough Examination' can be likened to an MOT for a car. Just like an MOT a 'Thorough Examination' is not part of the maintenace process. It must be reported on separately from your maintenace schedule.
