231 IDENTIFICATION Following a risk assessment, equipment or devices will need to be identified. In some cases, the equipment must have a unique id number. INSPECTION After inspection, equipment needs to be marked as having been inspected, along with any relevant information. INFORMING Employers have responsibility to provide information to their employees about safety and also including whether equipment has been inspected and is safe to use. SCHEDULING Often, regular inspections need to be carried out, daily, weekly or annually. RECORDING Sometimes the law, the regulation or codes of proactive require employers to keep records of the inspections, including what was inspected, by whom and when. These records might need to be kept for months or years. VISIBILITY Along with signs, tags are necessary to make sure that the right information is easily visible to employees. The working at height regulations requires the inspection of scaffolding and ladders from which a person might fall 2 metres or more and the issue of a report by a competent person. Ladder and Scaffolding tags are types of safety inspection tags that are attached to the equipment to indicate whether it is safe to use and therefore prevent accidents. Tagging systems are a useful way of ensuring those who need to access scaffolding or ladders know that it has been inspected and is safe to use and they can act as records to help ensure that the equipment inspection procedures and maintenance are kept up to date.
