OSHA INSPECTIONS

Periodic professional inspection of your crane equipment is necessary to satisfy ISO and OSHA mandated requirements. This will also assure that your system is in safe working order, are  fully compliant with MIOSHA safety regulations and the inspections provide every business an avenue to both a safe working environment for your employees and a resource to eliminate costly downtime or loss of production. Our inspectors can test load hooks and critical electrical and mechanical components for operating condition and safety.

In addition to a written report, we perform general preventive maintenance, any necessary adjustments and lubrication of key components. If any parts or repairs are needed, or anticipated to avoid future downtime, we will provide a detailed quote.

R 408.11872 Frequent and periodic inspections.

Rule 1872. (1) The inspection procedure for cranes in regular service is divided into 2 general classifications based upon the intervals at which inspection should be performed. The intervals in turn are dependent upon the nature of the critical components of the crane and the degree of its exposure to wear, deterioration, or malfunction. The 2 general inspection classifications are designated as frequent and periodic, with respective intervals between inspections as specified by this rule.

(a) Monthly to quarterly (class C) or at intervals of 100 hours of use, whichever comes first. Frequent inspection includes observations during operation and of items listed in table 3.
