The examination is fo be conducted in adequate lighting, in a systematic manner and take in fo account the operational conditions and environment in which the equipment is being used. The hoist must be in @ safe condition to use and this must be taken in to account when deciding whether to accept or reject the equipment, Ensure SWL and identification number is legible and is cross-referenced on the current proof load report oF current examination report. Examine for: ‘+ Bottom and upper safety limits for corect operation. * Loose, missing or distorted bolts. All washers, including locking washers where appropriate, and locking devices must be in place. All moving parts for slackness, wear and other damage. © Damage or distortion to the slack end anchor that connects the load chain to the block casing and/or signs of damage to the load chain stop (where one Is fitted). ‘© Chain guide or stripper for wear or damage. * Load wheel is not worn or damaged and that the chain seats snugly into the pockets of the load wheel. * IFaslack chain collection box's fitted make sure that it s securely attached and that the drainage holes are clear. * Hoist stops when the operating button/pendant controller is released. * Cracks at bends or changes in section. Mechanical damage, nicks, gouges and corrosion to the hoist body. Bearings for wear, corrosion and adequacy of lubrication, # Usten for any air leaks in the motor or piping system and make sure that the ai filter and water trap Is fitted to the supply end of the hoist. ‘+ Hooks for free swivel, distortion, stretch, corrosion, cracks, nicks, gouges and wear. Limits of bending or twisting from the plane of the unbent hook must not exceed 10 degrees. * 8% reduction of the cross sectional area due to wear on the chain link is to be used for rejection criteria, All load pins should be examined for wear and damage. Operation and secutily of safety latch. Operate the hoist and check that the chain does not jump or is excessively noisy. For examination criteria of the hook refer to work method No WP: LT-012, Control options Three main control options are available for pneumatic hoists.

It is 10 be raised sufficiently to ensure that the hoist gearing and load wheel rotate through at least one rotation and the load held on the brake. No aiscemible creep should be noted. The load is then to be lowered slightly and the brake applied. No creep should be noted. Keep the holst under observation in order to detect any obvious defects. ‘* Remove the load and examine the hoist for any defects. ‘*¢ IFallis satisfactory mark the hoist with its SWL and unique identification and issue the test report.

(Form No. LD-004). PARTS NOTES, COMMENTS AND GENERAL INFORMATION Notes 17.3.4.8 9 TW LOLER applies fo all tems of lifing equioment both onshore and offshore ‘and is the primary regulation in the UK. Other national or intemational legislation may apply depending on where the examination Is taking place. At all times the law of the relevant country must be complied with. 2) prEN 14492 P12: 2002 is currently under preparation and has not been formally issued by the British Standards institute. BS EN818-7: 2002 is for chain used in hoists. The letter(s) stamped or embossed on the hoist chain has the following meaning and is for use in the described application: T= 800 N/mm?— manually operated hoists, or power operated hoists with low speeds, where the working environment does not involve abrasive conditions. DAT = 800 N/mm? ~ power driven hoists where chain speeds are high in ‘conjunction with high working capacity and where wear resistance is required to give longer chain life. DT = 800 N/mm?— power driven hoists used in abrasive conditions. 31 monthly examinations are required for fing accessories and for ‘equipment used to lift persons. The industry's practice is to examine all lifting equipment at 6 monthly intervals. 41 Where no defects are noted and the hoist can continue to be used safely then the report is to be issued to the client within 28 days, Form No LD-001 is issued when a single examination is conducted and Form No. LD-002 is to be issued when examinations have been conducted on a number of items of li ing equipment. The information required in both reports is the same. 5) Where defects are noted that need to be corrected within a specified time scale the report should be issued to the client promptly, normally on, the day the examination has been carried out. Where serious and significant defects have been found involving existing, ‘or immediate risk of serious personal injury then the client is to be informed verbally without delay and a reper of the defect sent to the client and Page 3 of 6Pneumatic chain he PT LD SERVIS Work Procedure for the thorough examination of lifting equipment Doc.

In the UK a report issued under these conditions is to be sent to the Health and Safety Executive. ‘Comments Location Identification markings In the absence of specific manufacturer's technical information on the chain's permissible wear, then the following is to be used: Examine links for wear 8% reduction of the original diameter being the maximum permitted. Attention must be paid fo the inside crown (contact points). | Check for the maximum elongation of 2 1/2%. This can be done as follows: | «Select an unwom, unstretched length of the chain. ‘+ Suspend the chain vertically and using a caliper-type gauge, measure the outside length of any convenient number of inks, approximately 205 mm to 610 mm [12 inches to 24 inches) overall; + Measure the same number of links in the used sections and calculate the percentage increase in length. Length Used Chain - Length Unwom Chain Elongation % = x100 Length of Unworn Chain The quality grade mark of the chain shall be stamped or embossed on at least every twentieth link or links at intervals of 1 meter, whichever is the lesser distance, The correct air pressure and delivery rate is crucial for the optimum. performance of a pneumatic hoist. if the holst does not operate efficiently, the air supply should be checked. The identification number. safe working load, range of lif and name of manufacturer is to be permanently marked on the hoist, This will be in the form of a plate or tag permanently attached to the hoist. The following Information is also to be available: - year of manufacture, required air pressure and delivery rate and details of the chain size and grade. This information will be available in the operating manual. Report/ceriification Prior fo the thorough examination, the inspector must sigh! either the. current test report or the last examination report in order to confirm that the hoist has been tested and/or examined correctly and to familiarise himself with any special conditions applied to the Iifting equipment. The Yorious types of reports that may be available are as follows ‘+ Report of a test and thorough examination * Report of a thorough examination * Declaration of conformity PART4 SAFETY CONSIDERATION AND RISK ASSESSMENT ‘Safely considerations The appropriate work permit is to be raised prior to any examinations being commenced. The area where the test is being conducted Is to be restricted to necessary personnel only. The adequacy of floors, passages and landings are to be assessed before test weights are moved or placed. Page 4 of 6PT LD SERVIS Work Procedure for the thorough examination of lifting equipment Pneumatic chain hoist Doc. No. WP: LT - 020 Revision 0 Never sland undera load. Personnel are to wear appropriate personal protective equipment related to the work site, Duting the inspection of the hoist, the shut-off vaive should be closed. Safety hamesses are to be used when working at height and when necessary. Risk assessment When conditions or the work site constitute the need for a risk assessment, the following should be used for guidance:- * Look for the hazard. '* Decide who might be harmed, and how. ‘Evaluate the risk and decide whether existing precautions are adequate. * Record the findings for future reference. * Review the assessment and revise (if necessary).
