Monitoring Inspections
We ensure the service we provide is maintained by monitoring the work carried out by our engineers. We have developed a system of monitoring our engineers through the use of our in-house inspection forms.
From this system we able to measure the effectiveness of our engineers through a variety of inspections. These inspections highlight not only the individual working tends among the engineers, but also identify training requirements and overall trends when the information is laid out on a spreadsheet. From this information we can identify training requirements for the future and further use the information to design gas audits for the engineers where there is an indication that areas of the engineers work are not to an acceptable standard.

Housing Associations need to monitor the quality of work carried out by their heating contractor. Westward Energy can offer an independent Quality Control inspections service with gas qualified inspectors.
