What is rigging inspection?
A visual inspection shall be performed by the user or designated person each day before the rigging hardware is used. A periodic inspection shall be performed by a designated person, at least annually. The rigging hardware shall be examined and a determination made as to whether they constitute a hazard.
There are warning signs that hardware has been weakened and should be replaced:
Cracks: Inspect closely − some cracks are very fine.
Missing parts: Ensure that parts such as catches on hooks, nuts on cable clips and cotter pins in shackle pins are still in place.
Stretching: Check hooks, shackles, and chain links for signs of opening up, elongation and distortion.
Stripped threads: Inspect turnbuckles, shackles and cable clips.
