Legend Note 1: Lifting support steelwork such as runway beams, lifting beams, lifting frames,
Statutory requirements padeyes etc., with no moving parts shall have their periodicity extended to
Company polici 12 montths as long as :
Refer to specific design codes 1) They are not used for supporting personnel
Initial factory test 2) Their use is infrequent to extent that wear is not an adverse factor
Function test only 3) They are adequately coated/ protected so that corrssion is not an adverse factor
American pattern blocks
Refer to L.R.O.S./DNV Procedure Note 2: In addition to the annual examination, safe workload indicators must be function
Descent rate must fall between 90-180ft/min checked on a daily basis and checked for calibration weekly
At the discretion of the inspection body
Accepted practice Note 3: For lifting, lowering or supporting personnel, lifting equipment, I.E lifting appliances
Must be calibrated annually and liftin accessories must be visua; examined by a competent person, at intervals
Sample to be destructed to verify materials not exceeding 6 months and by the user immediately before use.
F.O.S. Varies- refer to BS6555/PD6500 (lifts)
Metal end fittings only Note4: SI2006 NO 2184 (Marine version of LOLER) requires that all ship's lifting equipment
Plus N.D.T. Report must be tested by competent person every 5 years.
