Published by SALUS

Regular safety inspections of rigging equipment are crucial in the construction industry to prevent injuries. These inspections should be part of a broader safety program that includes hazard recognition and elimination.

A comprehensive inspection procedure should include the following:

  • Daily Inspections: Cranes and other rigging equipment should be inspected daily before use to ensure they are in good condition.
  • Load Charts: Verify that rated capacities, operating speed, and instructions are posted and visible to the operator. The operator should understand and use the load chart.
  • Wire Rope: Any broken, worn, or damaged wire rope must be removed from service.
  • Safety Equipment: Ensure that safety clips are on all hooks.
  • General Condition: Check the general condition of power tools and equipment, ensuring proper guards, cords, and PPE are in place.

[1] [1] [1] Compliance involves:

  • Recordkeeping: Maintain records of safety inspections and corrections.
  • Training: Ensure workers are trained on the company safety policy and program, including hazard reporting and personal health and safety responsibilities.
  • Regularly Scheduled Inspections: Conduct regular equipment inspections to ensure safe operating conditions.

[3] [2] Additionally, ensure that crane operations comply with the manufacturer's specifications. [1]
