Welding Safety Inspections –Stay safe and compliant with our improved WSI Service

Safety protocols: Keeping track is easier said than done

“Safety first” — an adage as old as time. Safety inspections are essential in ensuring that both the equipment and processes that vessel crew members handle are of satisfactory quality, to not only reduce the risk of costly damage to vessels, but to safeguard the health and well-being of our crew members.

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

The busy and unpredictable nature of work onboard can make it difficult for ship operators and crew members to find time to update checklists of the necessary tasks and conduct safety checks necessary to ensure that welding equipment and tools are kept in safe working conditions.

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 the latest regulations and vetting inspections such as UK MCA Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seafarers (COSWP), OCIMF Ship Inspection Report (SIRE) Programme and RightShip Inspection Ship Questionnaire (RISQ), it may suddenly become overwhelming.

That’s why we’re here to make it easier.

Welding Safety Inspection service

Our WSI service, performed by our Port Service Engineers, is enabled by our improved WSI 3.0 app built to generate a confidential report that documents and presents inspection findings to enable easy identification and rectification of welding safety blind spots.

Grouped by risk categories, the WSI Report can effectively highlight critical safety risks that require immediate attention. Each inspection point not only comes with photographs and detailed explanations in cases of safety shortfall, we go one step further and provide recommendations for you to remedy the issue.
