Why are conditions important for applying the correct legislation to an asset?
When inspecting assets, it’s not only important to know which type of asset is involved but also under which conditions it is used.
How do conditions determine the applicable legislation?
The legislation surrounding inspections is not determined solely by the type of asset but also by specific factors such as:
- Usage: Is the asset used for commercial, industrial, or private purposes?
- Location: Is the asset located indoors or outdoors? Above ground or underground? In a hazardous zone?
- Capacity and specifications: How large, powerful, or heavy-duty is the asset?
- Frequency of use: Is the asset used daily, weekly, or occasionally?
These parameters determine which legislation applies to the asset and what types of inspections are required.
