Managing the potential risks associated with using plant and equipment is extremely important because the wellbeing of every operator, workmate and visitor on a work site depends on it. It also ensures business continuity, which is important for owners, shareholders and suppliers.
The Plant Assessor cloud-based platform was a world first when launched in 2004 and has evolved to become the leading product of its type, now holding detailed safety and compliance data for more than 105,000 makes and models of plant and equipment.
Users are able to conduct detailed, consistent and accurate assessment reports quickly and efficiently. It has revolutionised the process of conducting pre-start checks and risk assessments because it has simplified and accelerated the process, whilst making it more thorough. More recently, Plant Assessor have revolutionised the process of sharing compliance information between plant owners and their clients.
EVERY SECTOR, EVERY MACHINE
Plant Assessor is relevant to anyone who owns, operates, hires, imports, distributes, retails or auctions machinery. It’s especially relevant in the infrastructure and civil contracting sector because of the reliance on heavy machinery, and the complexity of operations common to the sector.
Plant Assessor delivers transparency around machine hours and condition, safety information, service status, pre-start history and more. It also allows for easy sharing of this information with others, which considerably reduces compliance cost whilst improving the quality of the information available.
The result is the ability to quickly and easily check who is on site and whether each machine and its operator are safe and meet site requirements. Nowhere is this more evident than in Forest Stewardship Council accredited contractors, many of whom rely upon Plant Assessor to meet the scheme’s plant & equipment safety management requirements.
