Racing like the fire department
In January, it was time again for the annual inspection at various fire stations. Our inspectors inspected the equipment in the fire trucks for the third year in a row. To do this great work, seven of our inspectors went out – spread out over the month of January.
At the fire brigade, we mainly inspect materials contained in fire trucks. We carried out inspections for no less than 135 vehicles. Our mechanics inspected lifting equipment such as chain slings, round slings, and wire ropes, fall arrestors, lashing systems, fall protection, climbing equipment, power tools, and motorized work equipment.
Maintenance and inspections
Inspections of these assets are very important to ensure firefighter safety, among other things. So what exactly does on-site inspection in the fire department entail, and why is it so essential? Mitari inspects on-site resources and equipment, for example at the barracks or in the fire engine. This allows the vehicles to remain on standby for emergencies and eliminates the need to take a fire truck or materials out of service. Naturally, it is significant that the fire brigade's equipment is safe, operates properly, and complies with current safety regulations.
Inspectors
Materials are inspected by our expert inspectors. They have specific knowledge of the materials to be inspected and know exactly what the applicable requirements and standards are. They carry out various inspections, tests, and measurements to ensure that everything can still be used safely. Should there be any defects, they are immediately rectified or materials are discarded and replaced.
It is vitally important for firefighters to be able to rely on their equipment and the functioning of equipment during a deployment. For example, it can have fatal consequences if a fall protection system does not work. On-site inspections often not only save on costs but also save a lot of time and are effective. Equipment and materials do not have to be missed, and vehicles are immediately deployable again. Proper maintenance of materials also saves unnecessary costs by preventing overdue maintenance. In addition, you are obliged to have equipment inspected annually by an EKH-certified inspection company.
In short, on-site inspection at fire departments is very important to ensure the safety of the staff. On-site inspection can cost-effectively prevent unsafe situations when deploying resources during emergencies.
