1. Initial Inspection – Any new, reinstalled, altered, repaired, and modified crane shall be inspected before the initial use.

2. Frequent Inspection – A frequent inspection is a visual and operational inspection performed monthly or even as often as daily.  Inspection frequency is based on the following factors, service, environmental, and application factors, as designated by a qualified (competent) person.

3. Periodic Inspection – A periodic inspection is a detailed visual and operational inspection where individual components are examined to determine their condition.  Inspection frequency can be quarterly to annually and is based on the following factors, service, environmental, and application factors, as designated by a qualified (competent) person.
