Documentation and risk assessment

Crucial in accordance with BetrSichV

There is a legal requirement for the documentation of maintenance and repair work carried out. To ensure the greatest possible protection, our documentation even goes well beyond the legal requirements. It covers all machine lists, defect lists, particle distribution lists, as well as maintenance and optimisation lists. This way we ensure that you are always up to date.

Maintenance work on hydraulic systems can give rise to a wide range of hazards. We are aware of our particular responsibility and carry out the risk assessment required by BetrSichV prior to maintenance work – reliably and with a high level of professional competence. The resulting occupational health and safety measures are documented and adhered to by us.

Seal assembly and optimisation

Professional implementation protects the environment

We assemble and optimise seals to prevent fluid leakage and thus ensure the full operational capability of your systems. Professional implementation protects the environment and reduces disruptions and downtime.

Workplace safety through trained personnel

Trained personnel make a significant contribution to improving workplace safety. Many workplace accidents occur due to a lack of knowledge or inattentiveness. In training courses, your employees learn to correctly assess hazardous situations and respond accordingly.

Training apprentices – Fundamental knowledge thoroughly conveyed

In day-to-day work, there is sometimes a lack of time or staff to thoroughly convey the important foundational knowledge to apprentices. Yet this knowledge is the basis for future work performance. So take the opportunity and have your apprentices trained.

Tec Days – Focusing on a specific topic

Simply taking the time to focus on a specific topic – that is exactly what our Technology Days offer you. Take a look at various product-related, safety-related and industry-relevant presentations. Refresh your knowledge and bring yourself up to date.
