do you not have a 6 monthly visual inspection regime in place for all your lifting gear? ... lifts, slings, shackles, chains, hooks, snatches, etc. ... 's a requirement under LOLER
And of course everything has a pre use check.

Hmmmm slings and shackles are 6 monthly in house. ( only got about 6 slings so doesn't take long!) Machine is every 12 months. Block and tackle are 12 months as far as I am aware?
every piece of lifting tackle I owned got done every 6 months religiously ... was a lot of gear and a full day's work for the guy who came to do it ... oddly enough I was talking to him when I was in Pontrilas last, with Russ.
Mercians who he'd worked for, for decades had been 'popped' and re-established under a new, but similar name with new, cheaper staff and he'd been left out in the cold ...
driving an FLT there, for virtually same money, with no stress/worries/responsibilities/trekking all over, with long days -- happy as Larry and still had all his tickets, etc. :rolleyes:

I thought it was every day/job for visual inspections the 6 months for thorough examination?

I was just thinking about lifting accessories rather than machinery. I thought shackles strops and chains come under redu ed testing as well as people lifting devices
Not sure - all I know is that any gear we have that supports people must be inspected every 6 months (whatever it is), but lowering kit is 12 months (but we do it all every 6 months).

6 monthly if lifting people.
if lifting anything ....
should also be inspected before each use, by a competent person - (in the case of a crane's gear, that'd be the operator)
I always had FLTs and cranes done, same time - was easy enough with Dave the examiner on site ...
full safe load testing was 4 yearly for the cranes, but with a 6 monthly history made life simpler :rolleyes:
