Electrical & Technical Audits

Mechanical Safety Audit

A Mechanical Safety Audit assesses the risks associated with mechanical equipment, machinery, and physical processes within a facility. We evaluate machine guarding, the integrity of mechanical systems, material handling equipment, and the effectiveness of maintenance programs. The objective is to identify hazards such as entanglement, crushing, or structural failure, ensuring that all mechanical assets operate safely and reliably.

Mechanical Safety Audit

Aim

To identify hazards related to machinery and mechanical systems, evaluate the adequacy of safeguards, and ensure safe operation and maintenance practices.

Scope of Audit

Inspection of machine guarding and point-of-operation safety
Evaluation of interlocks, emergency stops, and safety control systems on machinery
Assessment of material handling equipment (cranes, hoists, conveyors, forklifts)
Review of pressure vessels, boilers, and compressed air systems integrity
Evaluation of mechanical power transmission apparatus (belts, pulleys, gears)
Assessment of preventive and predictive maintenance programs
Review of Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures for mechanical energy isolation
Inspection of hand tools and portable power tools safety
Evaluation of hot work procedures and associated mechanical risks
Assessment of structural integrity of platforms, walkways, and storage racks
Review of operator training and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
Evaluation of rigging and slinging practices

Key Outcomes

  • Identification of mechanical hazards and deficiencies in machine safeguarding
  • Assessment of the physical condition and safety of critical mechanical assets
  • Evaluation of maintenance effectiveness in preventing mechanical failures
  • Report on the safety of material handling operations
  • Identification of gaps in procedures for controlling hazardous mechanical energy
  • Actionable recommendations to upgrade machinery safety to current standards
