RPEQ CERTIFICATION QUEENSLAND
To best understand the need for RPEQ Certification and its relationship to Australian Standards compliance, a basic understanding of the legislative rules and regulations is required. These rules vary slightly from state to state, on-shore to offshore and can also be effected depending on the type of site or lease (Petroleum, Gas, Mining or building). However, there is a common idea of ensuring the safety of plant and who’s l iable for that responsibil ity. RPEQ supervision is required when plant is manufactured or modified in Queensland or specifically for Queensland. The inspection and assessment for continued safe use of various items of plant will also fall under the ‘professional engineering services’ and most commonly applied to major inspection periods on cranes and amusement rides. Proof of RPEQ supervision is most effectively achieved through independent engineering assessment and issue of a RPEQ Certificate.
RPEQ CERTIFICATION QUEENSLANDThe following is a list of regulations and key items of plant and equipment that is commonly assessed:
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland Regulation.High risk plant – verification and registration of:- Elevating work platforms,- Cranes,- Car hoists,- Lifts,- Pressure Vessels, &- Amusement devices (fun park rides).Other high risk equipment – codes of practice and recommendations.- Roll over protective structures,- Falling object protective structures,- Fall from heights & Confined spaces,- Fork lifts,- Machine & plant safety- Excavator quick hitches, &- Lifting gear.
PRACTICAL ENGINEERING QUEENSLAND
Practical engineering allows a design to be placed in the context of an industry – rather than designing a product in a vacuum to mathematical specifications, practical knowledge of the industry and its components can allow for a more practical design and integration. Industry connections allow a project to be assimilated more quickly, and conversely, practical knowledge of the industry can start a practical engineering project several steps ahead of a theoretical project.
FCE is a professional engineering consultancy that delivers innovative and efficient solutions to its clients. IFCE works locally, nationally and internationally across a number of industry sectors, for companies large and small.
ENGINEERING CERTIFICATION QUEENSLANDCertification also offers a competitive advantage over uncertified products.
Customers look for the product with the most quality assurance. Testing and approval from an internationally recognized certification standard carries with it the highest vote of confidence possible in a product.
By certifying a product, the provider is displaying confidence in the product to the customer.
It is for the above reasons engineering certification is considered most important.
