OKEA - Brage - management of materials handling and maintenance of lifting equipment

The audit was conducted between 3 January and 2 February 2023.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to verify that OKEA’s management and follow-up of materials handling and maintenance management, including work at height, fulfilled the company’s and the authorities’ requirements.

Result

We identified three non-conformities during the audit. These concerned:

• Specially designed lifting appliances (SDLAs)
• Follow-up of contractors’ cranes and lifting
• Maintenance programme

We also identified four improvement points. These concerned:

• Materials handling plan
• Work at height
• Protective device at hose stations
• Prioritisation of maintenance

What happens next?

We have asked OKEA to report to us by 31 March 2023 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and for their assessment of the improvement points identified.
