Do you have a repair and maintenance program for your lifting equipment?
The maintenance and repair of lifting equipment is at the heart of plant safety issues. Given the importance of safety related to this equipment, it is crucial that a maintenance program be put in place. Not only is it an important element, but it is also part of the requirements of the B167-16 CSA standard (see section 8.3.1). Does your company have such a program in place?
It goes without saying that "hoists and cranes must be maintained and repaired" to ensure everyone's safety. But this maintenance must also be done "in accordance with all applicable requirements and the manufacturer's instructions" (CSA B167-16 8.1.2 and 8.1.4, see also RSST 245.5 and LSST 51.7). This applies to maintenance personnel as well as safety procedures, tools and spare parts. Here is an interesting link for the safe execution of tasks: Temporary end stop.
First of all, the B167-16 CSA standard establishes prerequisites for the people who will be doing this work. In short, anyone involved in the maintenance of lifting equipment must have a number of hours of direct experience in this field as well as a recognized professional designation, as shown in the attached box. It is indeed expected that the personnel maintaining this specialized equipment has the knowledge, experience and training in all aspects of its operation (CSA B167-16 8.2.1).
Second, spare parts are also covered in this requirement as they "shall meet or exceed the requirements of the manufacturer's specifications" (CSA-B167-16 8.3.2; RROHS 245.6). It is therefore necessary to ensure that a similar replacement part is documented to demonstrate that it has the same properties as the original part.
Finally, all these tasks and related information must be documented in the logbook to comply with CSA B167-16 (section 4.9 d).
