All work equipment*, the safety of which depends on the method of installation or that are subject to factors that cause deterioration, and could lead to hazardous situations, should be subjected to pre-commissioning inspections as well as periodic inspections. Such inspections should be conducted by a duly qualified and competent person.

Also, all work equipment must satisfy minimum safety requirements according to the latest advances in technology. A risk analysis can identify all the possible points requiring attention that could be relevant to this connection.

*Work equipment: all the machinery, equipment, tools and accessories used at the workplace.
