🪢Lifting Tackle Inspections

Lifting Tackle Inspection Requirements

All lifting tackle (lifting gear/equipment) must be inspected on a routine basis to ensure compliance with safety regulations and to prevent equipment failure. Inspections must be conducted by a competent person—defined as an individual with the necessary training, knowledge, and experience to identify potential hazards.

Inspection intervals are determined by the type of tackle and its usage conditions. As a standard guideline, lifting tackle should undergo inspection at least once every three months. Equipment used for lifting personnel, or operating in harsh or high-risk environments, requires more frequent inspection to ensure ongoing safety and compliance with statutory requirements.
