6.3.2 Frequent and periodic inspections
Recommended items to be checked for deficiencies or damage during frequent and periodic inspections are shown in
Table 3. Detailed inspection procedures for some items will be found in specific sections of this manual. These
inspections may be performed with the hoist in its normal location and do not require that the hoist be disassembled.
Covers and other items normally supplied to allow inspection of components should be opened or removed for these
inspections. Any deficiencies or damage such as those listed in Table 3 shall be examined by a designated person to
determine whether they constitute a hazard, or whether any disassembly is necessary for a more detailed examination.
The hoist operator should make observations during regular operation for any deficiencies or damage that might appear
between inspections.
Records of the condition of critical components such as wire rope, hooks, and brakes observed during frequent and
periodic inspections should be established. This record should also record replacement, maintenance, and repair
information. Use of this recorded information will allow a preventative maintenance program to be established for
replacement of wearing components on a regular basis, thereby eliminating or reducing unscheduled downtime
situations.
If any damage or malfunctions are noted by the frequent or periodic inspection items of table 3, the
hoist shall be tagged with an out-of-order sign and shall not be returned to regular operation until
maintenance and repair of the damage or deficiencies found during the inspection have been
corrected.
If any damage or malfunctions are noted by the daily inspection items of table 5.2,
the operator shall not operate the hoist, and shall immediately advise the supervisor
so corrective action can be taken. If the hoist is tagged with an out-of-order sign, the
operator shall not operate the hoist.
Hoist operators should be trained to be aware of malfunctions of the equipment
during operation, and to immediately stop operation if such malfunctions occur, and
to immediately advise the supervisor so corrective action can be taken.
