Common questions
About SEIS
The things site managers and duty holders usually want to know before they pick up the phone.
Who are SEIS and what do you do?
Statutory Equipment Inspection Solutions (SEIS) is an independent engineering inspection company. We act as the competent person for statutory examinations under LOLER, PUWER, PSSR and COSHH (LEV), so businesses can prove their equipment is safe and legally compliant.
What does “independent” actually mean here?
We operate separately from insurance companies and equipment suppliers. Our examination has no commercial link to selling you insurance, parts or maintenance, so the report reflects the condition of the equipment and the regulation, and nothing else.
Which areas do you cover?
Our surveyors work across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Tyne & Wear and County Durham, and through the ESiNet network we provide inspection coverage across the UK, with a surveyor local to each of your sites.
Can you inspect everything in one visit?
Usually, yes. Because our surveyors are multi-disciplined, we can examine your lifting equipment, work equipment, pressure systems and LEV on the same site visit, which cuts downtime and the hassle of coordinating several inspectors.
How quickly will I get my report?
Reports can be produced the same day, and made available before we leave site if you need them. Everything is stored in our online client portal, so your documentation is accessible 24 hours a day for audits and HSE requests.
Are you accredited?
We are members of the Engineer Surveyor Inspection Network (ESiNet) and the Society of Operations Engineers (SOE), and we are in the process of joining IPAF. Our work is carried out by competent persons in line with HSE expectations for each regime.
