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.

- Digital Documentation: All test certificates and relevant documentation are digitized and stored within the RigWare™ system, accessible via tablets.
- User Training: The client's team are trained to use the RigWare™ system effectively, ensuring smooth operation during the audit.
Benefits
- Successful Audit: The HSE was able to locate all equipment and access all test certificates directly from the RigWare tablet. The audit was completed efficiently, with no delays or issues.
- Expert Endorsement: The lifting Technical Authority (TA), with 35 years of experience, stated that it was the most successful audit he had ever experienced offshore.
Conclusion
The successful HSE audit highlighted the exceptional capabilities of Intebloc's RigWare™ system. By providing real-time equipment tracking and instant access to documentation, the system ensured a smooth and efficient audit process.
