MESH worked with management to review the engineering workshop to identify the suitability of a range of engineering equipment being operated by staff. This equipment included large drills, lathes, milling machines etc, a range of lifting equipment and also a wide variety of hand tools.
The assessment identified that some guarding improvements were necessary and that some emergency stops needed to be updated in order to comply with legislation. Also noted was the need to increase the frequency of inspection and maintenance of equipment in order to ensure safety features were not compromised.
