Long time since we had one, what to expect.
Expect a fine. They need to fund their visits. They nearly always find something.Long time since we had one, what to expect.
compliance sticker for air compressor..??Expect a fine. They need to fund their visits. They nearly always find something.
I didn’t have a compliance sticker for my small workshop air compressor and bang…the visit was then chargeable.
5 hour visit at £140 /hr plus office time writing up the report. I think it ended up costing nearly £1200.
They sat in my kitchen from 9-11am but couldn’t accept a cup of tea ‘as it could be seen as bribery’. So I sat there drinking tea and eating biscuits alone while answering daft questions
It was news to me too. Some kind of Mot style annual check.compliance sticker for air compressor..??
ladders not allowed to be used?They are surely going to look for ladders, PTO guards, abrasive wheels and the like as they can't possibly know what machinery you have on the premises. Unless a machine is fully guarded and has all the warning stickers in place etc and you have certificates for it all it may be easier to temporarily relocate chainsaws, angle grinders/bench grinders and similar to your garden shed or man cave.
Telehandler load chart and warning beepers etc all present and correct? Man baskets- they don't like them so yours better look the part.
You've a helmet for the quadbike as well or is that going in the garage behind your car out of sight?
Two tossers in high-viz?Long time since we had one, what to expect.
Wonder how it stands if you say it's not mine...?Wheel the compressor into the garden shed then. If they ask where it is tell them it's away having it's annual refurbishment and pressure vessel test.
So another cost to farm and a non job created.It was news to me too. Some kind of Mot style annual check.
IIRC you have two grades of compressor, professional which goes to 150 psi or thereabouts and should have inspections and certificates and lower grade stuff max 115psi or thereabouts which has no requirement for paperwork or inspection.It was news to me too. Some kind of Mot style annual check.
I would guess it works the other way around, you would have to prove to them it’s not yours and you don’t use itWonder how it stands if you say it's not mine...?
How do they prove it is.
Or how they prove you use it?
It is not done on pressure alone, but pressure multiplied by receiver volume, from memory below 250 bar.litres does not need testing but don't take my word for it. So less than 10 bar and 25 litres no test, above that needs a test.IIRC you have two grades of compressor, professional which goes to 150 psi or thereabouts and should have inspections and certificates and lower grade stuff max 115psi or thereabouts which has no requirement for paperwork or inspection.
Correct. It’s an annual check similar to LOLER that’s required to bigger compressors that have more stored energy. Requirement comes from PSSR regulations.It is not done on pressure alone, but pressure multiplied by receiver volume, from memory below 250 bar.litres does not need testing but don't take my word for it.

Need an annual inspection I think. Want to see a sticker or note in the diary to show you’ve done it.ladders not allowed to be used?
Have you any written policies?
