Man-watch Required is a podcast about the everyday life of a pressure equipment inspector.
Shoot the sh*t with us, as we talk about the challenges faced from creating equipment scope through to execution.
Your hosts talk just the right amount of smack to sound like they know what they are talking about, with stories and experience from the field mixed in.
Frank has been in the industry just over 18 years, and has been involved with in-service inspection for over 11 years.
With exposure to the in-service inspection world in the late 2000’s, equipment and piping inspection quickly became the career path of choice.

Like any good inspector Scott started out as a tradesman then found his calling in quality control and pressure equipment integrity inspection.
