Ideagen Plant Assessor and Ertech

Founded in Western Australia in 1981, Ertech’s business focuses on key business areas of civil and concrete construction, asset remediation and protection, and marine and geotechnical services. 

Ertech maintains accredited systems in Quality to AS/NZS ISO 9001, Safety to AS/NZS 4801 and Environment to ISO 14001, and operates a considerable fleet of heavy plant and equipment. Ertech was faced with the substantial challenge of systematically and cost effectively maintaining a safe system of work for its plant & equipment fleet to a level that met the requirements of AS/NZS 4801.

Ertech chose Plant Assessor as the platform to help manage this challenge. Mick Carr, Ertech’s Plant Maintenance Superintendent describes the process of choosing Plant Assessor:

“Prior to using Plant Assessor, we had struggled with several risk assessment templates. One of our suppliers suggested that Plant Assessor was an effective program for developing detailed risk assessments that were recognised by blue chip clients.”

“After a brief online demonstration we were convinced of Plant Assessor’s quality and ease of use. In particular the 2 step process of inspection and corrective action lends itself to the practical development of risk assessments for plant in remote locations.”

Since making the decision earlier this year, Ertech has illustrated the same diligence in implementing Plant Assessor as it has to its pursuit of excellence in business. For the team at Plant Assessor, it is a pleasure to work with such a professional and proactive client as Ertech.
