Air Compressor

[Tom W]

I am dealing with a company which have recently bought a 75l air compressor. I'm trying to figure out the best way of dealing with it. At present it is drained but when it arrived on site it had travelled full! 

1. Its ex display model
2. no certificate of maintenance.

Im trying to figure out what maintanance regime/certificates should be in place and the best way to store it.

Any help would be much appreciated

Assuming it is electric Piglet the only thing that I can think would concern a FRA is a PAT test.

Hi Tom
Are you looking at fire safety issues or general H&S, insurance and maintenance issues? Is it electric petrol or diesel? When you say it travelled full what do you mean?

From the H&S point of view theres some sources of reference listed in the following publication

Thanks for that.

Its an electric compressor. They have asked my opinion on all aspects of safety for the equipment.

Fire, H&S, Insurance - possible training requirements! Im a man of many hats!

They have it on hire at the moment but want to purchase it. There is no paperwork with it apart from an invoice!
