9 - Maintenance and Thorough Examination
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
‣ Wash cars regularly with fresh water. Car ball races should be flushed frequently by applying water and mild
detergent to the track, and rolling the car back and forth to work the solution through the races, to remove
salt and dirt build-up. Rinse with fresh water.
‣ Do not apply spray lubricants as these will prevent the ball bearings from recirculating, and over time will
attract dirt/salt build up.
SIX-MONTHLY THOROUGH EXAMINATION
In accordance with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 and The Merchant Shipping
and Fishing Vessels (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment) Regulations 2006, a thorough examination is to be
carried out at six-monthly intervals.
The Lewmar overside work rail system should only be examined by competent organizations, that is
organizations with designated persons who are suitably trained or qualified by knowledge and practical
experience to enable the required tasks to be carried out properly. Such persons should have knowledge of
examination requirements, recommendations and instructions issued by the manufacturer. They should be
capable of identifying and assessing the significance of defects, should initiate the corrective action to be taken
and should have the necessary skills and resources to do so. A competent person may need to be trained by
the manufacturer or authorised representative due to product complexity or innovation, or where safety critical
knowledge is needed in the dismantling, reassembly or examination of the equipment, and may need to have
that training updated due to product modifications and upgrades.
This examination is a formal examination of the entire rail system and its connection to the structure for
damage, degradation, wear and loose fastenings. Results are to be recorded in a log (Appendix B). All cars are
to be removed and examined and checked for functionality, as per the instructions below / Appendix C. Where a
fall has been arrested, the cars should be destroyed and discarded and replaced with new items. The section of
rail and fasteners where the arrested fall took place should be removed, destroyed and discarded. The structure
should be examined particularly in the region of the fall, for damage. Once the structure has been assessed and
has been found to be satisfactory, a new section of rail and fasteners can be fitted.
