Testing the chain hoist
The chain hoist must be tested by a qualified person for
safe operation in accordance with the provisions of the
German Industrial Safety Ordinance and the BGR 500,
Chapter 2.8, before first use and as required at intervals
of no more than 1 year.
A person may be considered qualified if he / she has at
least the qualifications previously given to the expert.
The scope of testing and the inspection deadlines are
i.a. according to the results of the risk assessment to be
carried out.
Type, scope and deadlines of the tests described in the
BGR 500 are previous practice and comply with the ru-
les of technology. The test is essentially a visual and
functional test. It covers the examination of the condition
of the components and equipment, the completeness
and effectiveness of the safety equipment and the com-
pleteness of the test book.
If a test period of the max one year is adhered to, the
operator can assume that this period is adequate.
Checking the chain hoist must be verified by a log book.
