Who in your organisation is responsible for formally inspecting equipment ? Do equipment inspections, meet with current legislation and follow the manufacturers specifications and recommendations ? How many people do you carry on average each year using your equipment ? In the event of an accident are you able to provide documentation to the HSE detailing scheduled formal maintenance of equipment ? In the event of an accident would your insurer accept liability if the lack of training and equipment maintenance was a contributory factor ? Can staff recognize where specific equipment may be required to secure certain wheelchairs ? Where passenger lifts and vehicles are regularly serviced, do you agree other safety equipment should be maintained ? The equipment is key to the provision of your services, would you be happy to be reliant on safety equipment, if you were aware that the equipment was not formally maintained ?
