Any deficiencies shall be repaired, or defective parts replaced, before continued use.
A thorough, annual inspection of the hoisting machinery shall be made by a competent person, or by a government or
private agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Labor. The employer shall maintain a record of the dates and results of inspections for each hoisting machine and piece of equipment.
Regular inspections are broken down in to two classifications.
1. Frequent Inspection- Daily to monthly intervals
