Portable access equipment inspections | NEN 2484, NEN-EN 1004
Ladders, steps, and mobile scaffolds that meet legal standards keep teams working safely and prevent unexpected downtime. Timely inspections of climbing equipment reveal defects before they cause incidents. Control Union performs certified on-site inspections, followed by fast digital reporting and a clear overview of all equipment. We seamlessly align inspections with your daily operations.
Arbo compliance & safety
At Control Union, we inspect according to NEN 2484 and NEN-EN 1004, the Dutch and European standards for safe climbing equipment. Our multi-skilled, certified professionals combine extensive experience with in-depth expertise. We work efficiently and proactively. When needed, we conduct multiple inspections at once, such as lifting gear and fall protection. We provide an objective, documented picture of compliance: the perfect foundation for next steps and legal accountability.
