Our goal is to help you maintain safe operations while meeting all statutory compliance obligations.
Statutory Compliance Audit Services
Hoistech helps businesses verify that their materials handling and safety equipment suppliers meet required regulatory and quality standards through independent audits using our Safeguard system.
Our Safeguard audits are designed to reinforce confidence in vendor statutory inspections and ensure compliance with current legislation and applicable standards. We independently verify that Statutory Test Certificates accurately reflect the true condition and compliance status of plant and equipment.
As an independent and highly qualified third-party assessor, Hoistech provides services ranging from single equipment audits to full vendor appraisals and control schemes, ensuring supplied products and services consistently meet statutory and quality requirements.
By combining Safeguard with statutory inspections, we can assess equipment availability, performance, and quality indicators to determine Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). This process enables us to identify trends, benchmark equipment performance against statutory requirements, and provide practical insights to help optimise plant productivity across individual sites or operations.
Contact Hoistech today to learn how our Statutory Inspection Audit services can help ensure your vendors consistently deliver compliant and high-quality equipment and services.
