5-4. Occasionally Used Hoists
(a) A hoist which has been idle for a period of 1 month or more, but less than 1 year, shall be given an
inspection conforming with the requirements of Sec. 5-2 before it is placed in service.
(b) A hoist which has been idle for a period of 1 year shall be given an inspection conforming with the
requirements of Sec. 5-3 before it is placed in service.
5-5. Inspection Record
(a) We recommend that dated inspection reports and records be maintained at time intervals specified in
Sec.5-1 (b) (2). We suggest strongly that records are stored where they be available to authorized persons.
(b) We suggest strongly that a long-range chain inspection program be established and include records of
examination of chains removed from service so a relationship could be established between visual
observation and actual condition of the chain.
