8 CHECK-UP ON THE JACK
8.1
INSPECTION
8.1.1 Inspections types
(1) Introductory inspection: it precedes first use. The responsible competent person must check
up all new or repaired jacks to ensure the qualified fulfillment of requirements of this OM.
(2) The jack inspections carried out regularly are generally divided to two groups according
to inspections intervals. Intervals depend on the state of critical parts of the jack and rate
of wear, damage or malfunction. Two main groups are here marked as daily and regular
ones. The appropriate intervals are defined as follows:
(a) Daily inspection:
visual check up carried out by the operation staff determined by the user
that is made at the beginning of each use.
(b) Regular inspection:
visual check up carried out by the competent person determined
by the user.
1) Current operation – once a year,
2) Heavy operation – every six month,
3) Special or occasional operation – according to recommendations of the competent person
at first use and according to the order of qualified employees (maintenance workers).
8.1.2 Daily inspection
Check up at parts recommended in the section 8.2(1) „Daily inspection“, whether the jacks are
not damaged nor have no defect. Carry out this inspection also during operation in the interval
between regular inspections. Qualified employees will determine whether any defect or damage
can constitute a hazard and whether the detailed inspection is necessary.
8.1.3 Regular inspection
Carry out overall inspections of the jack in the form of recommended regular inspections.
The recommended regular inspection stated in the section 8.2(2) must be performed under
the supervision of the competent persons who will determine, whether the jack is necessary
to be taken to parts. These inspections comprise also requirements of the daily inspection.
8.1.4 Jack occasionally used
(1) Submit the jack not being in operation for a period of one month or longer but less than
a year to inspection complying with requirements in the section 8.1.2 before follow-up putting
it into operation.
(2) Submit he jack not being in operation for a period of one year to inspection complying with
requirements in the section 8.1.3 before follow-up putting it into operation.
8.1.5 Report on inspection
Keep the record of performed tests, inspections and maintenances of jacks every time. Carry
out dating reports on inspections in intervals specified in the section 8.1.1 (2)(b) and keep them
in the place specified by the user.
The person responsible for safety and determined by the user must be advised of defects
detected by the inspection or recorded during the operation.
