How Often Should You Inspect Rigging Equipment?
Regular rigging inspection is crucial to the longevity of your assemblies, the safety of your crew, and your compliance with OSHA and ASME standards.
Both OSHA and ASME have numerous standards describing how often you should inspect your rigging hardware, these standards are:
-
ASME B30.26: for rigging hardware
-
ASME B30.10: for industrial hooks
-
ASME B30.21: for lever hoists
-
ASME B30.20: for below-the-hook lifting devices
-
ASME B30.9: for slings
-
OSHA 1910.184: for slings
While there is nuance, depending on the standard and application, all these standards require (at minimum) three different types of regular inspections. These include:
-
Initial Inspection: Visual inspection upon receiving hardware from your Everett rigging equipment supplier. Double check markings and tagging to ensure the correct hardware was delivered and that it meets your lifting requirements and specifications.
-
Frequent Inspections: A combination of daily and pre-shift inspections. These hands-on inspections look for defects, damages, and deformities in the equipment. Depending on OSHA or ASME code in use, a visual inspection may be required before every use of the rigging equipment.
-
Periodic Inspections: In addition to the above inspections, both ASME and OSHA require yearly (and sometimes quarterly) documented inspections of rigging hardware in Everett.
To ensure compliance and safety, always familiarize yourself with the relevant standard prior to ordering rigging hardware from our Everett supply shop.
