Testing & Inspection Services


Our Testing and Inspection Division is well established as the leading service within the mechanical testing field, with a client base of over 1,000 companies. We have taken part in many high level contracts within the Middle East and internationally. We have vast experience within the lifting sector and offer the largest testing facility available within the UAE with a capability of proof testing and certification of lifting equipment such as: winches, spreader beams, hook blocks and slings.

Our Testing Division also operates a water bag test system saving time and cost when it comes to testing of equipment on site or offshore and can provide solid dead weights to any capacity.

Our team of engineers are qualified, approved and highly experienced in all aspects of crane testing, lifting equipment inspection, servicing and repair. We operate regular in-house training and on site evaluations to ensure our engineers are up to date with any new product, legislations or standards that are introduced in the market. Our oil and gas engineers can perform on site or offshore installation of equipment such as MRT’s, Derricks and much more.

Safety Services Group offers inspection and testing of lifting equipment in accordance with current industry standards and manufacturers recommendations. We specialize in rig pass certification, slings and loose lifting gear, pad eye/lug, bridge crane, jib crane, davit crane, and gantry crane inspections and testing.

Visual inspections shall always precede any maintenance, repair, testing, or any new device being put into service.  Our inspectors perform thorough written examinations that we call a “link by link” inspection with extreme scrutiny.

Proof Testing is an integral component of an inspection program. Our customers may choose proof test lifting equipment at given intervals, or for verification purposes because of recent repair, recertification, or dormancy.  Our fleet of proof testers, load cells, weights, and rigging equipment enable us to proof test most all types of common and complex lifting equipment.

One unique service we offer all our customers is the SSG “Rigging Gear Registry” program.  The “Rigging Gear Registry” program organizes your lifting assets by location, description, serial number, and condition, and produces an inspection report on paper and in electronic format for your record keeping.  The inspection report also notes the standard on which each piece is inspected in the event the inspection findings need to be verified.
