PRE-USE CHECKS – YOUR SIMPLE TICK LIST

- Have you double checked that the wire rope lifting assembly is attached correctly? Make sure you check that the shackle and spelter socket safety bolts are fitted with split pins.
- Is the load plate engaged and secure including all bolts, nuts, pins, and tamper proof seals?
- Are the node plate safety bolts, nuts, split pins, and tamper proof seals all in position?
- Have you checked that the frames & buoyancy are fitted securely?
- Do all the seat harnesses work correctly and are the attachment points secure?
- Suspension system – Are the springs pre-compressed and operating properly? Are the sliding sleeves touching the stoppers at the top?
- Are all inspection and certification documents up to date and correct?
A competent person should check ALL key areas of your device before EVERY use.
Personnel transfer equipment is an integral part of your operational program and as such should always be included in the installation’s planned maintenance programme and regularly inspected and maintained in accordance with OEM recommendations.
