Safe Work Practice: Regular Inspection Requirements For Cranes

Safe Work Practice Regular Inspection Requirements for Cranes was developed to provide guidance on the regulated, routine inspections required when operating cranes.

Employers and crane owners are obligated to ensure that cranes and hoisting equipment undergo comprehensive and documented inspections at regular intervals. These inspections are not only mandated by the manufacturer’s directions and BC Occupational Health and Safety Regulation (OHSR) but are also essential in identifying potential hazards and preventing operational failures that could lead to serious incidents.

The Safe Work Practice provides detailed guidelines on what to inspect, the frequency of inspections, and the importance of maintaining thorough records in a crane logbook. Please use this vital resource to ensure workplace safety, minimize risks, and maintain operational efficiency in all your crane operations.
