Inspected means ready to work

A UVV inspection is usually due every 12 months. It is based on the German Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV), the DGUV rules and TRBS 1203. Businesses must have their work equipment inspected regularly by a competent person.

A UVV inspection may only be carried out by a competent person. At Miet-Express, managing director Thomas Schotter inspects machines and equipment as a competent person in line with accident prevention requirements.

The UVV inspection at Miet-Express covers construction and earthmoving machinery, forklifts, telehandlers, aerial work platforms and vehicle lifts, cranes, load-handling attachments and slings, compressors, hydraulic hose assemblies, pressure washers, scaffolding, ladders, racking, containers, loading ramps, tail lifts and powered gates.

A machine without a valid UVV inspection is not ready for use: it must not be operated, and in the event of damage the business owner is liable. If the inspection has expired – usually after 12 months – the machine should stay out of use until it has been inspected.

An on-site UVV inspection is available on request – at your premises or on construction sites throughout Emsland, from Sögel (about 13 km) to Lingen (about 39 km). Alternatively, the equipment can be brought to Lathen-Fresenburg. The more detailed the equipment list in your enquiry, the easier it is to plan the appointment.

Every UVV inspection at Miet-Express ends with an inspection report and an inspection sticker. Before the next inspection is due, Miet-Express will get in touch of its own accord. Defects found during the inspection can be fixed straight away in the same appointment.
