Question Response
When should an examination
be conducted? An Examination must be conducted at least EVERY 12 months. According to
the findings of any Visual Inspection a more frequent Examination schedule
may be warranted according to wear, age of unit and usage conditions. At
each Examination it is a good opportunity to replace a small number of
critical and other replacement parts and therefore more frequent
examinations may be prudent.
Who should conduct this
examination? A Competent Person.
Does this examination
require a formal record?
Yes.
What drawings are required
to support this examination? The drawings are available in Appendix B .
What equipment is required
to perform this examination? i. A ladder.
ii. An inspection frame or floor matting.
iii. Good lighting.
iv. Appropriate metric tool kit (socket set, combination spanners, allen
keys etc).

vi. Inspection data plate (with stamps).
vii. Proof load equipment (see Section 6.8 ).
A suitable means of safely accessing the top and the bottom parts of the
FROG-3 is required. When using a step ladder or ladder it must be securely
fixed to prevent slippage whilst accessing the top of the FROG. The FROG-3
can be laid on its side on protective matting, or the use of a secure
inspection frame assembly to safely access the underside of the FROG- 3 is
recommended. Do not go underneath an active lift.
Be aware that in some regions “Working at Height” regulations may apply.
