Post Load Test
Inspection

All inspections should be:
i. Performed by a Competent Person;
ii. Conducted at the frequency defined in section 4.6 Inspection & Maintenance
Schedules.
iii.
Formally recorded in a Report of Thorough Examination, section 4.11.
4.6 Frequency
Reflex Marine ’s Inspection & Maintenance Schedules (Examination Scheme) provides a
recommended frequency for inspection, maintenance, and testing. The schedule follows a
risk-based approach, where inspection and maintenance frequency will increase with the
usage of the equipment.
Personnel transfer carriers are safety-critical pieces of lifting equipment, therefore Reflex
Marine guidance is conservative and has stringent requirements to ensure that the
equipment is always in a suitable condition for safe use.
Additional to the inspection and maintenance schedule for in-service units, a thorough
examination should be conducted:
i.
before lifting equipment is put into service for the first time.
ii.
if there is any concern over heavy impacts, overloads, or if lifting equipment is exposed
to conditions causing deterioration liable to jeopardise the safety of the equipment.
iii.
if the equipment, in whole or in part, has been disassembled and reassembled.
Details of all repairs or modifications carried out should be recorded and copies of damage
and repair/modifications reports should be sent to the party controlling the use of the
equipment
If damage to the frame has occurred, welds, mechanical fasteners, and structural sections
should be examined for cracks using the dye penetrant method.
