Busy Start to the Year - Annual CP7 and CP47 Inspections.

CP7 and CP47 inspections are essential for businesses relying on gas welding and cutting gear. CP7 involves the annual inspection of portable gas equipment, ensuring that hoses, regulators, and related components are in safe working condition and haven’t reached their expiry. CP47's are an annual inspection which covers the safe use of inert gas regulators for welding, such as single cylinder MIG/TIG regulators.

Who needs these inspections? Any business or individual using gas equipment for welding, brazing, or cutting must have regular inspections to comply with legal safety standards. This includes small workshops, large industrial operations, and mobile welding services. Non-compliance can result in serious safety hazards and potential legal issues.

How often are these inspections required? Industry regulations recommend annual inspections for CP7 and CP47 compliance. Regular checks help prevent gas leaks, protect against flashbacks, and reduce the risk of costly downtime due to faulty equipment. By adhering to these guidelines, businesses can ensure both safety and efficiency.

How long do inspections take? The duration varies based on the amount and condition of the equipment. On average, a single inspection is completed within an hour. Our team works quickly and thoroughly to minimize any disruption to your operations.
