In South Africa, the use of lifting equipment is governed by strict health and safety regulations to protect workers, equipment, and operations. The Driven Machinery Regulations (DRM) under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993) require that all lifting equipment and tackle are inspected at regular intervals by a competent, certified person.
Failure to comply with these regulations can result in:
1. Legal liability for employer or contractor.
2. Heavy fines or penalties from the Department of Employment and Labour.
3. Serious safety risks, including injuries, equipment failure, or fatal accidents.
Regular inspections are not only a legal requirement but also a critical step in ensuring:
1. Compliance with South African legislation
2. Extended lifespan of lifting equipment
3. Safe and efficient lifting operations
4. Peace of mind for both employers and employees
By carrying out professional inspections and issuing valid certificates of compliance, we help you meet your legal obligations, reduce risks, and maintain the highest safety standards on your site.
