Best Practices
UW Procurement Services strongly recommends inside delivery for equipment weighing more than 100 pounds. Inside delivery includes uncrating, setting up the equipment at its intended location and removal of packaging debris. Inside delivery eliminates liability risks and is well worth the minor cost.
Here’s why:
- It’s never a good idea to leave expensive equipment on an unsecured loading dock awaiting its final destination.
- Employee safety: when employees try to install heavy equipment even with correct equipment, departments put themselves at risk for potential injuries to staff and L&I claims.
- Internal delivery gives departments the ability to inspect equipment for hidden damages prior to signing the delivery receipt.
- Inside delivery ensures the proper transfer of “chain of ownership” that makes it clear who is responsible for damage during the shipping or installation process.
