W.h. Scott & Son (engineers) Limited

The WH Scott Group is a market leader across the UK and Ireland in the design, fabrication, supply, inspection, certification, and maintenance of equipment used in highly regulated industries.

With deep expertise rooted in the complex demands of the lifting sector, we have successfully expanded our capabilities into adjacent markets, including elevators and pressure vessels.

At the core of the WH Scott Group’s success is our ability to deliver and maintain technical equipment while proactively identifying potential safety risks across diverse, high-compliance environments.

A key differentiator lies in the Group’s strong service offering, particularly inspection and certification, driven by its advanced digital asset tracking platform, CoreRFID.

Statutory Examinations

Our highly-trained specialised engineers can visit your site to conduct statutory examinations of lifting and height safety equipment.

Following an inspection you will receive reports which are compliant to the following:

Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER)

Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)

Safety, Health and Welfare t Work (General Application) Regulations 2007 – SI 299/2007

The Work at Height Regulations 2005/2007 (IRE)

These reports meet all UK and Ireland health and safety requirements, plus a full list of all equipment that has failed, is missing or received an advisory remark from the engineer. We can create an inspection schedule tailored to your operational requirements and also provide dedicated site-based resource for stores and certification.

Online asset management & certification portal.

Trained inspectors operating nationally throughout the UK and Ireland.

Compliant certificates and documentation.

Instant reports processed through the inspector’s tablet minutes after leaving site.

Over 400,000 statutory examinations managed annually across the UK and Ireland.

Load Testing

Our field engineers can plan & conduct load tests on various types of equipment at your site or at one of our workshops.

Using fixed or water weights and calibrated load cells, we’ll design a load testing procedure to suit your specific requirements,

supported by a full risk assessment & method statement.

Other testing available includes eyebolt & lifting ring testing & inspection, dye penetrant inspection & magnetic particle inspection. If more in-depth/theoretical testing is required, we can offer full finite element analysis (FEA).
