PPE inspections
Formal equipment and PPE inspection programme
Arco Professional Safety Services has dedicated teams of fully qualified inspectors operating across the UK. They carry out formal inspections of working-at-height equipment, lifting accessories, and portable ladders, ensuring full compliance and safety assurance.
Typical items the team inspect include:
- Working at height equipment (harnesses, lanyards, helmets, fall arrest blocks, connectors, transfasteners etc)
- Lifting accessories
- Portable ladders
Qualified inspectors you can trust
Each inspector receives rigorous manufacturer, in-house, and LEEA-accredited training and is regularly audited for competence. As an independent supplier and trainer, we work with a wide range of branded equipment, documenting every serial number and inspection record in our customer asset tracking system. This allows us to quickly identify and notify customers in the event of a product recall.
We have a range of supporting services
Formal equipment inspections
In addition to pre-use checks, all working-at-height safety equipment must undergo formal inspections. Under Regulation 12(3) of the Work at Height Regulations 2005, companies have a legal responsibility to ensure inspections are carried out at suitable intervals by a competent person with the necessary knowledge and experience. The inspector should also be financially independent, ensuring assessments are made solely on safety and not influenced by cost.
LOLER inspections for lifting accessories
Our accredited inspectors assess all lifting accessories such as slings, shackles, wire ropes, and hooks in accordance with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER). We ensure your lifting equipment remains safe, compliant, and properly maintained, while keeping complete inspection records on your behalf.
