Pass Inspections with Flying Colours
✓ Regular preventive maintenance ensures you will be prepared for inspections from the Ministry of Labour and/or food agencies. Providing them with a copy of your Northern Dock Systems report is proof that you have done your due diligence to prevent health and safety concerns.
Safety organizations across Canada outline that all equipment should be inspected at least once a year to comply with government safety standards. Our comprehensive, multi-inspection report covers all types of equipment. Following the inspection, you will be provided with a digital copy of our report which highlights any areas of concern and recommends solutions before serious health, safety or operational issues occur.
The PMP Process
Step 1 – Examine and Evaluate with Multi-Point Inspections
Every piece of docking equipment has a unique checklist of requirements of what needs to be inspected and/or adjusted. This checklist has been developed by our team of experts based on individual manufacturer’s product manuals to ensure peak performance, minimize potential risks and maintain warranty eligibility.
Technicians use over a dozen product-specific preventive maintenance templates to closely monitor equipment conditions and their associated costs. Following the inspection, you will be provided with a digital copy of our report which highlights any areas of concern and recommends solutions before serious health, safety or operational issues occur. All costs are broken down based on the type of problem, piece of equipment, material and labour to help you prioritize any necessary repairs based on your budgetary requirements.
Step 2 – Leave a PMP Report to Pass Inspections
Northern Dock Systems will provide a complete preventive maintenance report so you can retain it for your records. This report has a full breakdown for each piece of equipment to ensure you will be prepared for inspections from the Ministry of Labour and/or food agencies. You can provide them with a copy of your Northern Dock Systems report as proof that you have done your due diligence to prevent health and safety concerns.
Step 3 – Prioritize Repairs Based on Priority and Budget
Every field technician is equipped with a tablet that contains part breakdowns for every manufacturer’s make and model. Once on-site, our technicians will ensure your priority repairs are properly cleaned, adjusted and lubricated for optimum performance.
All PMP Inspections Contain:
Stay Compliant with Provincal Health and Safety Act
The OHSA mandates that every lifting device in a facility be inspected and provided with a written record of inspection as recommended by the manufacturer, and in any case at least once a year. This inspection includes loading docks which are often overlooked.
They also mandate wheel chocks as “A vehicle left unattended shall be immobilized and secured against accidental movement.” Ensure that you have suitable wheel chocks for all your loading docks, to prevent trucks from accidentally rolling away.
For more information, refer to Regulation 851, Section 51-1b and Regulation 851, Section 57 on the OHSA website.
