When a Pre-Start Health and Safety Review (PSR) is required, the owner, lessee or employer shall ensure that the PSR report is issued to a joint health and safety committee before the machine or process becomes operational.
S.A.F.E. Engineering Inc. pioneered a purchasing specification approach by which the purchaser can pass on the responsibility for PSRs to their suppliers through S.A.F.E. Engineering before the shipment is accepted.
S.A.F.E. Engineering professionals will work with the suppliers and end users during the manufacture of the equipment, advise the supplier about the local compliance requirements, and co-ordinate any potential issues with the end users. This approach will ensure that when equipment arrives at its final destination, it is ready to be immediately operational. The PSR will come with the equipment. S.A.F.E. Engineering Inc. will assume the liability associated with this process.
Equipment suppliers will also be enrolled in a program which will enable them to advise their clients that they can supply equipment complete with a PSR. This will enhance their marketing ability.
Following is a typical purchasing specification that is to be sent to all machine suppliers to initiate the Purchasing Specification approach
