Are your lifting devices in good condition to lift?
Every year, inadequate inspections and maintenance of lifting devices lead to critical and fatal injuries at work.
How does your workplace stack up?
- Are procedures in place for the initial and regular inspection and servicing?
- Do operators conduct pre-use checks prior to daily operation?
- Are written job procedures available to, understood and followed by workers?
- Does a ‘competent’ person inspect, repair and maintain lifting devices?
- Is lifting equipment used properly by a trained and ‘competent’ person?
- Are supervisors trained and ‘competent’ regarding lifting devices?
- Are incidents and injuries investigated to find and eliminate the root causes?
If you are unsure or answer no to any of the above questions, get help.
