Abstract

Non-destructive testing (NDT) is one aspect of the Quality Control (QC) function and is complementary to other long well-known QC methods. The purpose of the study is to alert the mass population about the need for safety measures for end users of products and those working with this plant productions through forecasting and evaluation of the use and operation of the lifespan of a part of a system at different production and operational phases. Descriptive Research Design was designed during the study. A survey research design was used to collect quantitative unprocessed information from the sample of interest. Statistical analysis was used to summarize the data. SPSS was used to run the results obtained from the survey also for validation and testing of reliability, the Cronbach alpha method was used to test the correlation of the data. From the information examination, it is seen that under half of the staff concurred that the equipment and were in a decent working condition. That is the one Variable that needs to be considered the most and changed with the end goal for development to happen.
