Service and Repair of Ladles and Associated Equipment

Are you at risk?

Regulations apply to ladles and ladle hoists which come under the categories of 'load bearing' and 'lifting equipment' and therefore the auspices of health & safety in the workplace. The risks associated with such equipment must be assessed and managed.
