Lift, DG and Pressure Vessel Inspection: What Gets Tracked and Why

Lifts, diesel generators and pressure vessels (boilers, compressed air tanks) each have genuine safety risk if they fail — a lift malfunction, a generator's fuel or electrical fault, a pressure vessel rupture — and each is typically subject to its own periodic statutory inspection requirement, separate from general facility maintenance.

Lifts typically require periodic safety certification renewal and logged maintenance checks. DG sets need fuel quality checks, load testing, and emission compliance tracking specific to pollution control requirements. Pressure vessels need periodic inspection certificates confirming they remain safe to operate at their rated pressure — each with its own renewal cycle that's easy to lose track of among several assets.

A facility with multiple lifts, a generator and several pressure vessels, each with a different inspection cycle tracked separately (or not tracked at all beyond someone's memory), is exactly the kind of situation where a lapse happens quietly until an inspector finds it. Centralising renewal tracking across all statutory-inspection assets into one calendar is what actually prevents that.
