The importance of Site Pre-Inspection of Plant & Equipment

At Douglas OHI, safety and operational excellence are at the heart of every project. Conducting a thorough pre-inspection of all plant and equipment before it enters a project site is a critical control measure that ensures both personnel safety and operational efficiency.

Pre-inspections allow our teams to identify potential issues before equipment is deployed, preventing incidents that could compromise the safety of our workforce or the integrity of the project. By assessing equipment prior to use, we confirm that it is fully functional, compliant with legal and client requirements, and ready for immediate deployment.

Key Benefits:
• Safety: Ensures plant and equipment are safe to operate, helping prevent injuries and fatalities.
• Compliance: Confirms adherence to legal standards and client requirements.
• Readiness: Guarantees equipment is operational and prepared for use on site.
• Efficiency: Reduces delays and avoids costly rework.
• Documentation: Provides a recorded baseline of equipment condition, supporting accountability.
• Risk Control: Minimises operational and environmental risks by identifying hazards before work begins.

By embedding pre-inspections into our operational processes, Douglas OHI reinforces a proactive approach to Health, Safety, Sustainability, and Environment (HSSE) management. This practice not only safeguards our teams but also strengthens client confidence, operational reliability, and project success.

Pre-inspection of plant and equipment exemplifies our commitment to upholding the highest standards of HSSE and operational excellence across all Douglas OHI projects.
