Inspection Frequency
When Should Inspections Occur? The question of how often inspections should take place doesn't have a one-size-fits-all answer. First, let's define inspections, as there are two main categories commonly referenced in Australian Standards: in-service and periodic inspections.
In-service Inspections
An in-service inspection requires a visual check before each use. Before every lift, the user should closely examine the equipment, including slings, hooks, and lifting points, to make sure there's no substantial wear or damage and that the Working Load Limit (WLL) tags or markings are intact and legible. If any faults are detected, the equipment must be removed from service and evaluated by a qualified individual who will decide whether to use, fix, or discard it.
Periodic Inspections
These are more comprehensive inspections where the equipment is cleaned and checked in a well-lit place by a trained inspector with good eyesight. This is specifically outlined in standards like the Chain Sling standard. Adequate documentation of these inspections is also required.
The frequency of inspections may depend on various factors:
- The extent to which the item is used and the level of the load (e.g., whether it is consistently used at its working load limit)
- The environmental conditions where the equipment is used and stored, especially if exposed to dirt or corrosive elements
- Specific types of lifting gear that may be more likely to degrade quickly, such as slings made of synthetic fibers or certain wire rope slings with soft eyes, might necessitate more regular checks
The general guidelines for inspection frequencies, in accordance with Australian Standards, can be tailored by those in charge of lifting and rigging equipment. They must determine whether these guidelines are suitable for their particular circumstances or if a more rigorous inspection routine is warranted.
