Question 04

What does Uniquo look for during machinery inspection?

During plant and machinery inspection, Uniquo evaluates equipment condition, operational safety, and compliance with applicable standards. The goal is to identify potential risks, mechanical defects, and safety gaps that could affect performance or lead to accidents.

Uniquo typically checks for:

  • Overall equipment condition and structural integrity
  • Safety guards, interlocks, and emergency stop systems
  • Mechanical wear, corrosion, and alignment issues
  • Electrical safety, wiring condition, and control panels
  • Proper functioning of controls and safety devices
  • Leakage in hydraulic, pneumatic, or pressure systems
  • Noise, vibration, and abnormal operating conditions
  • Maintenance records and operating procedures

In India, these inspections help organizations comply with safety requirements under the Factories Act, 1948, state factory rules, and internal EHS policies. Regular inspection also supports organizations implementing standards such as ISO 45001.

After inspection, Uniquo provides a detailed report highlighting observations, risk levels, and practical recommendations to improve equipment safety, reliability, and compliance.
