LIFTING EQUIPMENT INSPECTIONS & TESTING

Reduce the risk of accidents linked to lifting devices thanks to periodic verification carried out by Bureau Veritas teams

COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS

Lifting devices (auxiliary loading cranes on vehicles, forklifts, people lifting platforms, vehicle lifting bridges) are the cause of a significant number of work accidents (falling loads, etc.).

To ensure safer working conditions for workers using or working in contact with such equipment, the regulations provide for commissioning or recommissioning checks and periodic checks.

PERIODIC INSPECTION OF LIFTING DEVICES

Bureau Veritas reduces the risk of accidents linked to your lifting devices, whatever your equipment (auxiliary loading cranes on vehicles, forklifts, people-lifting platforms, etc.) by monitoring their compliance with regulations throughout their service life. life cycle :

• Technical assistance in the design or acceptance of machines  

• Suitability examination: check that the lifting device or accessory is suitable for the work to be carried out and that the planned operations are compatible with the conditions of use of the device defined by the manufacturer.

• Examination of assembly and installation: ensure that they comply with the instruction manual.

• Checks(1) during commissioning or recommissioning, after repair or accident (disassembly, reassembly or modification that could compromise safety).

• Periodic checks: examination of the state of conservation in order to detect deterioration causing dangerous situations thanks to documentary studies (maintenance logbook, report of previous checks), identification of control points (chassis, cabin control, framework, etc.), operational tests under load, verification of the effectiveness of the brakes, devices for controlling the descent of loads, etc.
