URSUIT SERVICING<br />

<strong>PPE</strong> AND <strong>PFPE</strong> INSPECTION<br />

HIRE<br />

At our Service Centre, we are able<br />

to offer fully certified inspection,<br />

cleaning and testing and repair of<br />

Ursuit Immersion Suits.<br />

In line with SOLAS safety standards, with respect to critical<br />

lifesaving equipment, <strong>OAASIS</strong> in partnership with Ursuit have<br />

introduced an annual service and recertification program to<br />

ensure that all suits remain certified and fit for purpose, for the<br />

expected life of the product.<br />

To ensure the highest standards are maintained, all service<br />

activities are carried out by an approved Ursuit Service Centre.<br />

By performing the servicing and recertification of all Ursuit<br />

equipment in this manner, we ensure that dedicated, fully<br />

trained personnel perform all service activities in a consistent,<br />

professional and expedient manner. All test activities are<br />

undertaken utilising specialised custom built equipment that<br />

has been approved.<br />

We maintain detailed records of all servicing activities; log<br />

the results of all tests, repairs, serial numbers, and customer<br />

details.<br />

A recertification certificate is issued after each service and the<br />

equipment then has an additional 12-month warranty.<br />

<strong>OAASIS</strong> offer bespoke Personal Protective Equipment (<strong>PPE</strong>)<br />

and Personal Fall Protection Equipment (<strong>PFPE</strong>) inspection<br />

services for companies involved in Work at Height. Our services<br />

range include complete inspection, assessment, marking and<br />

logging of all specialist Work at Height and Confined Space<br />

equipment or <strong>PPE</strong>.<br />

Our fully trained personnel undertake thorough visual<br />

inspections of equipment and assessment of key elements to<br />

give a detailed report of inspection and most importantly a<br />

PASS or FAIL result to determine if the product is safe for use.<br />

Thorough examinations by a ‘competent person’ of any lifting<br />

equipment used for lifting persons (such as Personal Fall<br />

Protection Equipment) are required by law to be conducted<br />

at least every 6 months (or less if recommended by the<br />

equipment manufacturer) as detailed in the Lifting Operations<br />

and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER) 1998.<br />

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations<br />

(PUWER) 1998 states that ‘Work equipment exposed to<br />

conditions causing deterioration which is liable to result in<br />

dangerous situations must be inspected at suitable intervals’<br />

and that any lifting equipment should also be ‘thoroughly<br />

examined’ after it has been subjected to ‘any exceptional<br />

circumstances which are liable to jeopardise the safety of<br />

the work equipment’ (such as shock-loading / dropping from<br />

height).<br />

<strong>OAASIS</strong> offers a complete hire service for marine life saving<br />

equipment such as Ursuit transfer suits and Life Jackets<br />

with PLBs. Our hire fleet is regularly inspected, cleaned and<br />

recertified to ensure each product is safe for purpose when<br />

they are required. Further hire packages including <strong>PPE</strong> and<br />

Working at Height equipment can also be discussed.<br />

In many instances, hiring equipment is more cost efficient than<br />

purchasing for temporary or on-going projects and workplace<br />

situations. <strong>OAASIS</strong> are able to provide both long and short<br />

term hire solutions with our growing fleet of hire equipment.<br />

With an on-site Service Centre, we can ensure our clients<br />

receive competitive rates and turnaround times to meet<br />

expectations and demand. We can build bespoke packages to<br />

the requirements of clients.<br />

Built in service and inspection costs – our hire rates include<br />

the cost of servicing and inspection of equipment annually<br />

and as needed before/after hiring.<br />

No man hours lost time due to service and inspection – if an<br />

annual inspection falls within a hire period, we will provide<br />

replacement equipment to ensure no down time whilst<br />

equipment is serviced.<br />
