KRAUSE ACADEMY - Safety starts with knowledge
Ladders, steps, mobile scaffolds and fixed ladders are used in many companies every day. What sounds simple harbours great dangers if handled improperly. This is why the law stipulates that this work equipment must be regularly inspected by a "competent person". This is exactly where the KRAUSE ACADEMY comes in: In practical seminars, employees are made fit for this responsible task.
Whether it is the correct selection and maintenance of ladders and steps, the safe assembly and dismantling of mobile scaffolds (mobile working platforms) or the correct use of personal fall protection equipment (PPE) – the seminar programme covers many safety-relevant topics. Not only are legal principles such as the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health and DGUV regulations taught, but also the ability to recognise and document hazards.
A special plus: The seminars not only take place at the KRAUSE factory or in attractive seminar hotels throughout Germany, but also directly in the company on request - using the company's own work equipment. In this way, the participants benefit twice: from the theory and from the direct practical relevance. In addition, KRAUSE also offers convenient online seminars that allow flexible participation from any location.
Certified, qualified - and independent
The advantages for companies are obvious: by training their own inspectors, external inspection costs can be saved, inspections can be organised flexibly and internal processes can be accelerated. All participants receive a certificate documenting their qualification as a ‘competent person’ - an advantage that not only has an impact on occupational safety, but also on the company's competitiveness.
In addition, KRAUSE seminars are recognised as further training measures for occupational safety specialists and are rewarded with further training points - an investment that pays off on several levels.
KRAUSE INSPECT - when your own inspectors are not available
Not every company has qualified personnel or sufficient capacity for internal inspections. This is where KRAUSE offers a professional and legally compliant solution with the KRAUSE INSPECT service: experienced inspectors come directly to the company, carry out the complete inspection of the work equipment used and issue all the necessary inspection documents.
The range extends from classic ladders, steps and mobile scaffolding (mobile working platforms) to doors, gates, electrical systems and machines, right through to racking systems, customised solutions and fixed ladders. The experts inspect in accordance with legal requirements, document everything digitally and affix the required inspection stickers directly on site. This minimises the inspection effort for the company while maximising legal certainty.
The digital way - manage inspection processes efficiently with wosatec
The inspection process is particularly efficient when it is carried out digitally - with the wosatec web app, whose inspection labels can now be found on many KRAUSE products. The cloud-based solution completely replaces the previous paper-based inspection and ensures maximum transparency, simplicity and sustainability.
Each item of work equipment is uniquely identified via a QR code. The location, last inspection, images and manufacturer data can be stored. The app automatically suggests the appropriate inspection interval and the correct checklist. The inspection itself is carried out directly in the app and can be supplemented with comments and digitally signed. The result: a complete, legally compliant inspection report in PDF format - paperless, audit-proof and accessible at any time.
Full control - anytime, anywhere
The wosatec web app is more than just a digital inspection log. It provides a centralised overview of all work equipment, inspection status, locations and upcoming deadlines. Inspection reports can be viewed and sent in real time. Particularly practical: the application also works offline so that it can also be used in shielded areas.
With just a few clicks, large amounts of data can be imported, inspectors invited or work equipment filtered by location, place of use or type. Companies with many branches or decentralised warehouse locations in particular benefit from this centralised transparency.
In addition to fast and intuitive operation, the web app saves up to 50 per cent of the time required to carry out inspections - and thus significantly reduces costs. Interested companies can test the benefits of the solution without obligation: wosatec offers a 30-day trial version.
The smart combination for maximum occupational safety
Whether training, inspection service or digitalisation - KRAUSE offers companies of all sizes a comprehensive concept for the legally compliant and economical inspection of their work equipment. By qualifying your own employees, commissioning external inspection service providers or introducing digital inspection software, you can optimally combine safety, efficiency and sustainability.
The result: less effort, less risk, a better overview - and a significant increase in operational safety.
