Lifting and Handling

Inspecting all lifting and handling equipment is essential. Inspections, such as those offered by Apave Cameroon, are available to prevent accidents, protect your employees and guarantee the reliability of your operations.

Why secure your lifting and handling equipment?

Lifting and handling equipment enables you to move, lift or position heavy loads with precision on your industrial sites, construction sites or warehouses.

However, even the slightest malfunction can lead to human, material and operational risks: workplace accidents, falling loads or crushing hazards, breakdowns, production stoppages, penalties for non-compliance, etc. That's why, in Cameroon, occupational health and safety regulations, notably those set out in the Labour Code, require employers to ensure the maintenance and conformity of equipment used by workers.

To prevent any risk, you owe it to yourself to carry out inspections of your lifting and handling equipment throughout its lifecycle.

Lifting and handling: why include truck inspection in your inspection?

On construction sites, industrial sites or logistics platforms, the lifting equipment installed on vehicles used for transporting and handling loads (such as auxiliary loading cranes, tail elevators or lifting arms) is subject to heavy use. Their failure can lead to major incidents and accidents.


Including truck control in your inspections enables you to identify any anomalies, prevent risks and ensure the safety of your handlers during loading and unloading operations.
