Industrial & Manufacturing Industry
The industrial landscape in Malta is governed by Chapter 646 and a series of high-stakes technical regulations. With the introduction of the 2026 Administrative Instrument on Extreme Weather, industrial sites, especially those with outdoor storage or loading bays, must now have documented protocols for red-alert weather warnings.
Key Local Context for 2026:
New Construction Site Regulations (S.L. 646.27): Even if you are just renovating a warehouse or restoring an industrial plant, you are now legally required to appoint a Project Supervisor. Websedia steps in to manage the Health & Safety File, a document now mandatory for the entire lifecycle of the building.
Machinery Compliance: With the transition toward the New EU Machinery Regulation, Maltese workshops must prove their equipment (from conveyor belts to robotic arms) meets updated safety standards. Our “eye for detail” ensures you aren’t caught off guard by technical wrongdoings.
The Preemptive Strike: As we like to say, don’t wait for the OHSA to knock. In the industrial sector, “wrongdoings” lead to immediate stop-work orders. We regulate your plant before the inspection, ensuring your business stays in motion.
