There
are many times when you use different types of equipment. Some involve very heavy
machinery like forklift, crane,
louder etc. To use equipment safe and sound you need its proper inspection. Its
not only company‘s obligation to inspect the equipment but being a user you
should also play some role.
Normally any lifting equipment should be inspecting within one year. But if its usage is more, then reduce this inspection period. One thing should be clear that there is difference between main lifting equipment and accessories to attach with this lifting equipment.
If
you are using new forklift then make it sure that you should carry its inspection
before its installation and then you have to use it.
Forklift
has different types of attachments. To use it properly there is need to inspect
its all attachment parts every six months.
No
one will let you know that forklift require inspection. It’s your
responsibility to diary it and inspect it within schedule. Make checklist of
each and every item.
You
should prepare list of all items and areas that have been checked. So that there
will be no area and part left remained. Check tires, chains, wheels, air
pressure, electrolyte cell level, horns, breaks, cylinders etc.
One
important thing is that inspection should be done by competent person.
Competent person is one who has sufficient knowledge and experience. One who
can detect errors and defects? One who knows how much these defects are
dangerous if not properly detected and corrected. These types of equipment
become more worth considering when people are involved. That’s why preventive
measures can save you from big loss.
