Why choose the Meson Inspect approach

Typically conducted on an annual rolling basis, inspections are guided by a site-specific risk assessment. In an ideal scenario, the risk assessment should be reviewed at least every three years, which is why at Meson we can work with your business to provide a three-year rotational inspection cycle.

What this means is that each depot we inspect will receive a mix of Visual, Close, and Detailed inspections annually. This mixed approach means every inspection type is completed across every area over the three-year cycle, minimising disruption.

A Visual Inspection is a quick, low-impact inspection that doesn't require tools or isolation of the equipment. Meanwhile, a Close Inspection goes into slightly more detail, using tools and access equipment to identify defects without needing to open an enclosure or shut down the equipment.

Finally, as the most thorough level, a Detailed Inspection will involve a comprehensive examination of the workplace to classify hazardous areas, identify dangerous substances, evaluate ignition sources, and review all control measures and emergency procedures. 

Our initial assessment will see us separate each depot into areas to assess, including storage, handling procedures, potential ignition sources, ventilation and control measures. Next, we will create an annual schedule that will see, for example, the first area receives a Visual inspection in year one, a Close inspection in year two and a Detailed inspection in year three. Meanwhile, the second area will receive its Detailed inspection in year one, a Visual inspection in year two and a Close inspection in year three, and so on.
