Why is a safety inspection (UVV) necessary for continuous conveyors?

Continuous conveyors are considered work equipment under the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV). Therefore, according to Section 3 of the BetrSichV, the employer must conduct (or have conducted) a risk assessment for conveyor systems and, according to Section 10, have this assessment reviewed by a qualified person (accident prevention inspector) at the determined intervals. According to Section 11, the review must be documented.

You can outsource the UVV inspection for continuous conveyors - or have it carried out by your own company, thereby saving time and money .

We will prepare you for the UVV inspection of continuous conveyors

From screw conveyors and telescopic conveyors to roller conveyors – all these conveying systems must be inspected annually according to the regulations of the insurance providers as part of the accident prevention inspection (UVV). A qualified person with relevant work experience, appropriate vocational training, and the expertise to assess the safe condition of the equipment can be appointed to carry out the inspection.

We reliably train you and your employees to become qualified persons for the UVV (accident prevention regulations) inspection of continuous conveyors, in accordance with the requirements of the employers' liability insurance associations. This training provides you with the necessary expertise as a basis for appointment.

Why do we have up to 3 modules (examiner qualifications)?

Is it possible per training day?

As preparation for the training day, our participants complete an e-learning module for each booked piece of equipment. This module covers the fundamentals of expertise and provides an introduction to the relevant regulations. This ensures that participants are optimally prepared for the training day and can thus use their time effectively for in-depth study of up to three pieces of equipment.
