Have You Ever Seen a Government Inspector Sell a Product?

How to Get Ready for a Visit from the Government to a Client Site

An inspection by the government at one of your clients’ sites can be stressful. This is partly because most inspectors will try to find something that the customer can do better during their visit. They usually follow a process, and the more problems they have getting the information they need from a company, the more closely they look for other things that might not be up to par. That’s what they do for a living. Most of the time, they start their inspections with paperwork. To begin, make sure that all of your clients’ weights, measures, and certifiable products have been regularly checked and approved.

Why organized information is important for inspections

Most of the time, inspectors are well-organized Type-A people who like it when information is presented to them in a clear and concise way. They also have a sixth sense for spotting when things are not in order. This often means that they think processes are not being followed, which is why the inspection starts.

How Good Certification Management Makes Inspections Easier

Putting all of your customers’ certificates, along with their expiration dates and when they need to be updated or re-certified, on one page on your website can be very helpful for them. The rest of the inspection should go smoothly once the inspector sees that your customer is serious about the process and has a handle on it. They wanted to make sure that a well-organized method was used.

Why regular certification of equipment is important beyond inspections

Of course, equipment isn’t regularly inspected and certified just to please an inspector. In addition to business, it’s important for health and safety. But your customer also needs to run a business. They don’t live in a world of weights and measures like you do as the service provider, so they have to do these things. They are important, but they don’t look at it every day. That’s your job.
