Outsourced engineering & compliance management

You run the business.We keep compliance moving.

We help look after the engineering and compliance side of your business. Harvtec can implement systems, help run them, carry out agreed inspections and maintenance, and support audits across Cornwall — with as little or as much ongoing help as you need.

We help put the system in place, run the agreed programme and follow the work through. Less paperwork to chase. More time for the business.

Health, safety and quality management support in Cornwall

The system is only the start. We help make it work.

A quality manual, an assessment or an audit creates work that someone has to manage. Procedures need putting into use. Checks need carrying out. Equipment needs maintaining. Findings need action.

Harvtec brings hands-on engineering and practical compliance support together. We help implement and run ISO 9001 quality management and health and safety systems, carry out the agreed site work and keep the records connected to what actually happens.

For business owners and busy managers, that means an extra pair of hands across the work that keeps landing on your desk, without having to build a full in-house compliance team.

Regular site inspections can bring an external engineering and compliance manager’s attention to your plant, records and outstanding actions. Agree a monthly, quarterly, six-monthly or site-specific programme, with repairs and specialist examinations separately scoped.

The checks. The maintenance. The records. The follow-through.

Premises and electrical safety

Get the checks done. Keep the evidence together.

Electrical testing and routine safety checks, with clear findings, useful records and a practical route into follow-up work.

Testing connected to practical follow-up.

Weekly fire alarm tests

Routine alarm testing, logbook entries, defect reporting and follow-up, coordinated with your premises arrangements and servicing programme.

Emergency lighting tests

Functional and duration testing within an agreed programme, with test records, fault investigation and repair support. Testing arrangements account for the premises and safe recharge time.

Weekly visual fire equipment checks

Routine visual checks of fire equipment, its accessibility and obvious condition, with concerns recorded for action. Specialist servicing remains part of the wider programme.

Equipment and production

Look after the machinery that keeps you working.

Electrical, mechanical and workshop knowledge connects machinery safety, faults, repairs and maintenance planning around the actual equipment.

PUWER machinery checks

Work equipment checks and inspection records scoped to the machine, its use and risks. Identify defects, organise improvement actions and keep the inspection history useful.

Machinery maintenance and repairs

Planned maintenance, electrical and mechanical fault finding, repairs and workshop support, coordinated around access, isolation and production needs.

Maintenance programme management

Asset registers, planned preventive maintenance, inspection schedules, work orders and repair histories. We can manage the agreed programme and track outstanding defects.

LEV repair and maintenance

LEV repairs, refurbishment and ongoing maintenance, with Thorough Examination and Test arranged through a competent LEV examiner. Preparation, report actions and maintenance records can form part of the agreed support.

Roller shutter door checks

Routine condition and operational checks, defect records and maintenance follow-up. The door and its instructions determine the scope, including any specialist servicing or safety testing needed.

Quality, people and evidence

Put the system into everyday use. Keep it running.

Practical support from the first procedure through implementation, internal audits and ongoing management, shaped around how your team works.

ISO 9001 quality management support

Develop, implement and maintain procedures, quality records, document control and management review information. Help your team make the system part of the working day.

Internal audits and external audit support

Plan and carry out internal audits, record findings and follow through on corrective actions. Prepare evidence and support your team through external audits, with audit objectivity built into the arrangements.

Health and safety support

Organise assessments, safe working procedures, inspection records and improvement actions. We can take on the agreed administration and help managers keep reviews and responsibilities clear.

Training, competence and staff records

Inductions, training requirements, renewal dates, competence records, procedure acknowledgements and contractor documentation, organised so managers can see what needs attention.

DSEAR and production documentation

Support with DSEAR assessment documentation and follow-up actions, plus controlled vehicle production procedures, inspection plans and technical evidence for Conformity of Production and application preparation.

CHAS application and renewal support

Help organise the policies, competence records, contractor information and evidence needed for your application or renewal. The scheme assesses the submission and makes its own decisions; support does not guarantee acceptance.

Your business. Your level of support.

A helping hand or a regular part of your team.

Hand over a single task, share the recurring workload or ask us to coordinate an ongoing programme. We fit the support around the people and arrangements you already have.

Sort a particular job

Useful when a deadline, fault or backlog needs focused attention.

  • A test, inspection or internal audit
  • An assessment or documentation project
  • A machinery repair or records backlog

Share the regular workload

Give your existing managers practical support where time or capacity is stretched.

  • Recurring site checks and planned maintenance
  • Document, training and inspection record upkeep
  • Audit preparation and action follow-up

Manage the agreed programme

Make Harvtec an ongoing part of your compliance and maintenance arrangements.

  • Coordinate schedules, site work and records
  • Run internal audits and track improvements
  • Keep you informed about progress and decisions

We agree the tasks, suitable schedules and responsibilities around your site risks and equipment instructions, identifying specialist work where needed. Harvtec manages the agreed workload while your business retains its legal responsibilities and management authority.

From the finding to the finished work

Someone needs to follow it through. We can.

A check can reveal a fault. An audit can create an action. Our support connects the next job, the person doing it and the record of what happened.

Talk through your workload

Know what is due

Bring equipment, existing reports, audit dates and recurring tasks into a practical programme with agreed scope, priorities and responsibilities.

Carry out the work

Complete or coordinate the agreed checks, tests, maintenance, documentation and audits, planning around access and the operation.

Deal with the findings

Explain defects, agree repairs or corrective actions, assign the next steps and follow progress through to recorded completion.

Keep management informed

Review completed work, approaching tasks and unresolved issues. Keep the evidence available and bring decisions to the right person.

Built around working businesses

Compliance that understands the workshop floor.

Our support connects technical documentation with engineering and production. These anonymous examples describe the kind of work we support.

Commercial vehicles

The production process and its supporting evidence.

Support for vehicle businesses brings together workshop quality controls, safety documentation and the records behind production and approval work.

  • Controlled procedures and production inspection checklists
  • Technical documentation and Conformity of Production support
  • Audit preparation, evidence organisation and corrective actions

Manufacturing and engineering

The equipment, the controls and the follow-up.

In manufacturing, the documentation has to reflect the processes and equipment on site. We connect practical maintenance support with organised safety records and actions.

  • DSEAR assessment documentation and recorded control measures
  • Machinery checks, maintenance records and improvement actions
  • Procedures and review routines that fit the operation

A clearer next step

Your questions,
answered.

What we can take on, how the support works and where to start.

Can someone manage our compliance without us hiring a full-time manager?

Yes. Harvtec can take on agreed health and safety administration, quality system tasks, site checks, maintenance coordination and audit work. Support can cover a one-off project, recurring tasks or an ongoing programme alongside your existing team. Your business retains its management decisions and legal responsibilities.

Can you implement and help run our ISO 9001 quality management system?

Yes. We can help develop procedures, introduce practical routines, maintain controlled records, organise management review information and follow through on improvement actions. Support works around a new or existing system. Certification and certification audits remain the role of your chosen certification body.

Can we outsource our internal audits and get help preparing for an external audit?

Yes. We can plan and carry out internal audits within the agreed scope, record findings and help manage corrective actions. We can also organise evidence and support your team before, during and after an external audit. Audit arrangements are agreed to preserve objectivity and impartiality, including where Harvtec also helps maintain the system.

Do you provide EICR, PAT testing and routine fire safety checks in Cornwall?

Yes. Our offer includes EICR electrical inspection and testing, PAT testing, weekly fire alarm tests, weekly visual fire equipment checks and emergency lighting tests. We agree the scope and appropriate test programme for the premises and equipment. Routine checks sit alongside the required servicing and specialist inspections.

Can you manage PUWER checks and machinery maintenance together?

Yes. We can connect machinery checks, inspection records, defects, electrical and mechanical maintenance, planned work and repair history. The inspection scope reflects the equipment, its use, risks and manufacturer information. Any specialist assessment or work is identified when agreeing the programme.

Can you repair and maintain our LEV equipment?

Yes. Harvtec’s extraction experience includes installation, repair, refurbishment and ongoing maintenance. We can also arrange Thorough Examination and Test through a competent LEV examiner, and help manage preparation, maintenance records and actions from the written report. Routine maintenance and statutory examination remain separate scopes.

Can you check our roller shutter doors?

We can include routine condition and operational checks, defect reporting and maintenance follow-up in an agreed site programme. The scope depends on the door, its instructions and safety arrangements. Specialist servicing, safety assessment or force testing is identified separately where needed.

Do we need Magrathea to use your compliance services?

No. We can work with your current arrangements. Where a maintenance and compliance management system would help, Magrathea connects equipment, planned work, inspections, documents, training, audits and actions. Harvtec can help configure it, organise existing records and support your team in using it.

Can you help with training records and staff paperwork?

Yes. We can help organise inductions, training and competence records, renewal dates, procedure acknowledgements and contractor documentation. This supports managers with operational records and responsibilities; specialist employment or HR advice requires separate arrangements.

One contact. Practical support.
