Dear Ms Church HSB Englneerlng Insurance Servlces Llmlted Chancery Place Re- Mr Peter William RICHARDSON (Deceased) 50 Brown Street Regulation 28 Report to Prevent Future Deaths Manchester M2 2JT wwwhsbellcom Further to your correspondence dated 15th May 2017 containing the Report Registered in England Wales: 03010292 to Prevent Future Deaths (PFD) , please find the response below for both Registered office: HSB Engineering Insurance Services Ltd (HSB) and New London House 6 London Streel with respect to the points raised in the report: London EC3R 7LP Following the recommendations made during the inquest; HSB issued a technical document on the 3rd May 2017 to its engineering surveyors which instructed them to record the pad wear (tolerance) on the report of thorough examination for two post vehicle lifting tables, as suggested in the PFD report: With respect to checking the torque settings, this procedure would normally be considered a maintenance activity and therefore not within the scope of a thorough examination. We have however considered as to whether assessing the torque settings should now be included in the scope of a thorough examination and we feel this should be a consideration for all inspection bodies As such we are working with SAFed, to establish a common approach who in turn are liaising with the HSE to ensure consistency throughout the industry: Therefore the method used by HSB for assessing the pad wear still aligns with that detailed in the HSE SIM 03/2010/02. We would also like to take this opportunity to inform you that Mr Hayward has now left HSB's employment and has a new position which does not involve the thorough examination of motor vehicle lifting tables _ 1866 HSB Engineerlng Insurance and
