GA1 Certification

GA1 testing, also known as a Thorough Examination, is an inspection process for work platforms and various lifting equipment. This examination is essential to verify that these machines are safe to use, well-maintained, and in full compliance with safety regulations.

GA1 testing is a mandatory requirement under the Safety, Health, and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations of 2007 in Ireland. By conducting these tests, potential hazards are identified and addressed, reducing the risk of accidents, injuries, or fatalities. Adhering to GA1 testing standards not only helps prevent workplace incidents but also shows a company's commitment to maintaining safety and complying with legal regulations.

The testing is carried out by a Competent Person. The purpose of GA1 testing is to ensure that all equipment is fit for its intended use, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring a safe working environment.
