Certificate of Fitness

Here I am again to share what I've been doing over these pass years. My job is basically to inspect all certificated machineries that stated clearly in Factory and Machinery Act as well as promoting safety to all workplaces...
I mean ALL WORKPLACES... that includes, restaurants, hotels, transportations, public services, goverment sectors and etc...
Actually, these certificate of fitness are similar to road tax, only that, these machines are to be inspected every 15 months instead of once per year...
Certificated machineries are lifts, elevators, escalators, mobile cranes, tower cranes, derrick cranes, scissor lifts, two post lifts and others that categorized as lifting machines which powered by electricity. Other lifting machines that are manually powered are excluded.
Yes, that's right, lifts and escalators... we uses these particular machines almost everyday, at office, at shopping mall and even at home.
There are cases which fatal accident occured. Lack of knowledge and awareness leads to this. So, sharing these essential info would ascended one's knowledge for whoever visited this blog..
Other than that, unfired pressure vessel, for example... air receiver, air compressor, oil separator and etc, also must be inspected to be fit enough to operate..Boilers are definitely falls under certificated machineries..
There are registration number for all registered machineries. This for the eligibility for inspection and for the certificate, for example, if you noticed, in lift car and at escalator step, there are registration number label as SL PMA XXXX, PP PMA XXXX, KD PMA XXXX.
That's all for now
