1.4 - INSPECTIONS
Comply with the national regulations in force in the country of machine use.
For FRANCE: Order dated 9 June 1993 + circular DRT 93 dated 22 September
1993 which specify:
1.4.1 - Periodic inspections
The machine must be inspected every 6 months in order to detect any defects
liable to cause an accident.
These inspections are performed by an organisation or personnel specially
designated by the site manager and under his responsibility (whether or not they
belong to the company) Articles R 233-5 and R 233-11 of the French Labour
Code.
The results of these inspections are recorded in a safety register kept by the site
manager and constantly available to the labour inspector and the site safety
committee (if one exists) and the list of specially designated personnel (Article R
233-5 of the French Labour Code).
Moreover, before each use, check the following:
• the operator’s manual is in the storage compartment on the platform,
• the stickers are placed according to the section concerning "Labels and their
positions",
• oil level and any elements in the mainteance operation table
• look out for any danaged, incorrectly installed, modified or missing parts.
NOTE : This register can be obtained from trade organisations, and in some
cases from the OPPBTP or private prevention agencies.
The designated persons must be experienced in risk prevention (Articles R 233-
11 or order n° 93-41).
No member of personnel is allowed to perform any check whatsoever during
machine operation (Article R 233-11 of the French Labour Code).
1.4.2 - Examination of machine suitability
The manager of the site where the machine is operated must ensure the machine
is suitable, i.e. capable of performing the work in complete safety, and in
compliance with the operating manual. Furthermore, the French order of 9 June
1993 addresses problems relative to leasing, examination of the state of
conservation, checking upon operation after repairs, and test conditions (static
test coefficient 1.25; dynamic test coefficient 1.1). All users must consult this
order’s requirements and comply with them.
1.4.3 - State of conservation
Detect any deterioration liable to cause hazardous situations (concerning safety
devices, load limiters, tilt sensor, cylinder leaks, deformation, welds, bolt
tightness, hoses, electrical connections, tyre state, excessive mechanical gaps).
NOTE : If the machine is rented/leased, the user responsible for the machine
must examine its state of conservation and suitability. He must ob-
tain assurance from the leaser that general periodic inspections and
pre-operation inspections have been performed.
