<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)1. External power input is the correctvoltage <strong>and</strong> amperage.2. Power conductors <strong>and</strong> controls are ofadequate rating <strong>and</strong> are insulated or otherwiseprotected against accidental interruption ordamage.14.4.4 Inspections14.4.4.1 Initial InspectionPrior to their initial use, a qualified inspector shallinspect all new, modified, orrepaired liftingmagnets to ensure compliance with Section14.4.4.3, "Periodic Inspection."14.4.4.2 Frequent Inspectiona. The operator or other designated personshall visually inspect each magnetic lifting deviceat the beginning ofeach shift orprior to use, ifithas not been in regular service.b. The inspection shall be for the following(records are not required):1. Lifting magnet face for freedom fromforeign materials <strong>and</strong> for smoothness.2. Lifting bailor sling suspension forproper condition.3. Control h<strong>and</strong>le for proper condition<strong>and</strong> operation.4. Current indicator, where applicable,for proper condition <strong>and</strong> operation.5. Labels, markings, <strong>and</strong> indicators ormeters for legibility.6. Electrical conductors, if applicable, forloose connections, continuity, corrosion, <strong>and</strong>damage to insulation.7. Batteryfor correct electrolyte level <strong>and</strong>lack ofcorrosion ofbattery posts or connectors, ifapplicable.14.4.4.3 Periodic Inspectiona. A qualified inspector shall perform acomplete inspection with the equipment in place atthe following intervals:1. Normal service-yearly.3. Severe service-quarterly.b. Lifting device service is defmed as:1. Normal-operation with variousweights within the rated load limit. or uniformloads less than 65 percent ofrated load.2. Heavy-operation within the ratedload limit that exceeds normal service.3. Severe-operation under normal orheavy service with abnormal operating conditions.c: This inspection shall include those itemsspecified in Section 14.4.4.2, "FrequentInspection," in addition to the following:1. Deformation, wear, <strong>and</strong> corrosion ofall members, fasteners, locks, switches, warninglabels, <strong>and</strong> lifting parts.2. Operation <strong>and</strong> condition of electricalcomponents (Le., meters, indicators, <strong>and</strong> alarms).3. Magnet coil tested for ohmic/groundreadings <strong>and</strong> readings compared to manufacturer'sst<strong>and</strong>ards.d. A qualified inspector shall inspect a liftingmagnet that has been idle for 1 month or moreaccording to periodic inspection requirementsbefore placing it in service.e. Dated inspection reports shall be preparedfor each inspection. Inspection records shall bekept on file <strong>and</strong> shall be readily available.14.4.5 Testing14.4.5.1 Operational Testa. All new, modified, or repaired liftingmagnets shall be tested prior to their initial use.Tests shall beperformed by a qualified inspectoror under the direction ofthat inspector. Datedreports shall be kept on file.b. Testing shall include the following:1. A check to ensure that the liftingmagnet contains no visible defects.2. A check for proper operation ofallelectrical protective equipment. meters, indicators,alarms, etc.2. Heavy service-yearly.Chapter 14Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices 14-14
