Sometimes, trying to make a small saving can come at a high cost. Imagine one of your machines suffers a catastrophic, unexpected failure, and the insurance assessor determines that the cause of the failure was inadequate maintenance – meaning no payout! Unfortunately, that’s not an unusual event.
And let’s not forget WorkSafe!
If you’re a PCBU (Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking) the New Zealand Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 says that you bear the primary duty of care for worker health and safety at your workplace. Because accidents sometimes happen, despite everything you do to mitigate them, you need to have proof that the machine was maintained correctly and in good working order at the time of the accident.
We can help you avoid those unpleasant outcomes in two ways.
1. Independent machinery inspection reports
First, we can conduct a thorough inspection of your machines and produce a formal independent report that aligns with insurance company and WorkSafe requirements. If anything needs to be done to get the machine up to spec, we will note that too and give you a quote to rectify it. The report will also note anything that will need attention in the future to help you budget for upcoming maintenance.
2. Scheduled maintenance plans
Even better is to ensure all your machines are regularly maintained according to their manufacturer’s specs. BTS Engineering are specialists in maintaining all types of industrial machinery, and with our fully equipped mobile workshop, we can do it anywhere in the South Island. Planned maintenance is more efficient too, because we can do it around your production flow, so any interruption is kept to an absolute minimum. Most scheduled maintenance plans call for either 3, 6, or 12 monthly inspections and servicing. Our initial report will cover at least 90% of your assets and will give you a clear signal of where you should spend your money for the best results.
