Background
Lifting equipment audits offshore can be time consuming. Often the equipment is challenging to locate and match with the relevant documentation.
Challenge
Our client was to undergo a rigorous audit by the HSE (The Health and Safety Executive). The challenge was to ensure that all lifting equipment could be located quickly and that all test certificates were readily accessible. Given the complexity and volume of equipment, this was a daunting task.
