Welding Safety Inspections - now easier than ever with our new WSI service

Safety protocols: Keeping track is easier said than done “Safety first” – everyone knows that. That is why we have Welding Safety Inspections to ensure the equipment and processes that vessel crew members work with are of satisfactory quality, so we can reduce the risk of an accident occurring and keep the crew members safe.

But keeping track of safety protocols is often easier said than done.

Due to busy schedules of ship operators and crew members, it may be a struggle to find time to update checklists of all the tasks that need to be done to ensure that the welding equipment and tools are maintained in safe working conditions.

Without proper safety checks, unwanted accidents can occur, and the consequences could range from damage to the vessel and its equipment, which would be very costly to repair/replace, and in extreme cases, the health and well-being of the crew members can be impacted.

But without a streamlined process in place, safety checks can be very time-consuming. Pair that with having a sea of items to check and complying with regulations such as the OCIMF SIRE VIQ7 or Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seafarers, it may suddenly become overwhelming.

We’re here to make it easier.

Welding Safety Inspection service Our Welding Safety Inspection (WSI) service is based on our WSI mobile app which is built to document inspection findings so blind spots for welding safety can be easily identified and improvements can be made.

We include photographs and dive into explanations in instances where there are deficiencies.

We explain the deficiencies we are seeing, what safety protocols come into play and then we go one step further; we give recommendations to remedy the deficiencies at hand.

This is how our WSI service works:

One of our trained Port Service Engineers (PSE) goes on board to conduct a safety inspection using the WSI app.

PSE will create a report based on their findings and will work with your Account Manager

/ Technical Sales Manager to fine-tune the report.

The Account Manager/

Technical Sales Manager will

present the report to you, along with key findings and important

next steps to ensure safety and compliance.

Remote Welding Safety Inspection With the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become increasingly difficult for Port Service Engineers to go onboard vessels. In such instances, we can also arrange for our Remote WSI service – simply send us pictures and information that we will need, and we will create a WSI Report along with the usual key findings and recommendations.
