Industrial Services:

In addition to traditional structural design and evaluation services, Debbert Engineering provides Pre-Start Health and Safety Reviews for new equipment, racking or hoisting systems.

In October of 2000 the Occupational Health and Safety Act Regulation (OHSA) was revised to include a requirement that employers perform a Pre-Start Health and Safety Review (PHSR) on a qualifying, newly installed or modified piece of equipment.  The PHSR must be conducted by a Professional Engineer with knowledge and experience related to the safety requirements for that particular type of equipment and must identify any non-conformances with respect to the OHSA and applicable standards.  Debbert Engineering has experience in performing risk assessment and evaluating the physical hazards and guarding requirements outlined in the applicable standards. For more complex systems, Debbert Engineering assembles an evaluation team which may include Registered Industrial Hygienists and/or Electrical/Mechanical Engineering specialists from affiliated firms to assist in the PHSR.
