Up to date, accurate information about the latest status of equipment is critical for safe and efficient site operations. When all of the costs of bad decisions are added up, it is easy to see how important it is to plan and implement an effective Equipment Status Management System (ESMS).
The HSE estimates that the cost of health & safety and maintenance incidents in the UK amounts to more than £1 billion a year*. Reducing this by a mere 1% through more consciously planned Equipment Status Management would benefit UK businesses to the value of £10 million. And this is exactly the result Scafftag is campaigning to achieve by working with its clients to develop their ESMS’s.
