Structural Assessments, Reporting & Certification

Annual and 10-yearly safety inspections go beyond standard servicing. They’re a legal requirement for high-risk machinery and involve checking everything from stress points and welds to safety interlocks, hydraulics and operational controls. Our inspection process is methodical and transparent, providing a clear report of your equipment’s condition and outlining any required repairs. Once all items are cleared, we issue a safety certificate confirming your equipment is safe to use under current regulations. If repairs are needed, we can carry them out in-house or onsite as required.




  • Thorough documentation & compliance reports
  • Clear repair recommendations with no guesswork
  • Certification issued promptly after completion


Whether you’re preparing for a site audit or updating expiring documentation, we’ll help you meet compliance obligations without the stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What equipment needs annual or 10-year inspections?

    Machinery such as EWPs, cranes, man lifts and hoists are legally required to undergo regular safety inspections—annually or every 10 years—under Australian Standard AS 2550. These checks ensure the equipment is safe for use in high-risk environments like construction or mining. Requirements vary depending on usage, equipment type and local regulations.

  • What happens if my equipment doesn’t pass inspection?

    If your equipment fails a safety inspection, you’ll receive a detailed report listing all non-compliant issues. These must be repaired before certification can be issued. At OG Diesel NQ, we offer repair services to get your machinery back to standard quickly and safely, minimising delays to your work schedule.

  • Is there a penalty for not completing required inspections?

    Yes. Failing to comply with safety inspection schedules can lead to penalties, worksite shutdowns or insurance invalidation. More importantly, it puts operators and others at risk. Keeping up with annual and decade-based certifications is essential to maintaining workplace safety and meeting legal responsibilities under WHS regulations.
