Crane/Lifting Equipment Inspection
Cranes are crucial in mining operations and industries for lifting and moving heavy equipment, materials, and personnel. As a person conducting a business, you have obligations under the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Regulations to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, workers and other people are not exposed to health and safety risks arising from the business or undertaking. So, the crane inspections are mandated by a Occupational Health AND safety Regulation.
A crane inspection entails a meticulous visual and operational assessment, examining individual components and lifting gears in detail. This thorough examination is crucial to ensure the crane functions optimally. By detecting wear and tear, the inspection identifies maintenance needsfacilitating seamless, safe, and productive operation.
Beyond regulatory adherence, routine inspections play a pivotal role in problem detection,
