(NOTE: RML website www.reflexmarine.com/support should be checked for the latest version of the
tables in this section)
When must a Visual Check be
conducted?
A Visual Check must be conducted PRIOR to EVERY use of the equipment
(multiple lifts in one series of transfer operations constitute one usage
period).
Who must conduct this
check?
A person who has been formally trained to perform this Visual Check and is
familiar with this equipment, i.e. a Competent Person.
Does this check require a
formal record?
Yes, a record that the visual check has been completed should be recorded
appropriately, e.g. an entry in the daily tour record stating date the check
has been completed, unit number and any relevant comments.
What drawings are required
to support this check?
The drawings are available in Appendix B.
What equipment is required
to perform this check?
i. A ladder.
ii. An inspection frame or floor matting.
iii. Good lighting.
A suitable means of safely accessing the top and the bottom parts of the
FROG-3 is required. When using a step ladder or ladder it must be securely
fixed to prevent slippage whilst accessing the top of the FROG. The FROG-3
keel assembly can be visually checked from ground level using a torch. Do
not go underneath an active lift.
Be aware that in some regions “Working at Height” regulations may apply.
The following checklist is suggested as a suitable list for a 10 POINT PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECK.
