The maintenance and inspection process for a building hoist involves several key steps to ensure safety and functionality. Regular visual inspections should be conducted to check for any visible damage or wear. Monthly inspections should include testing the emergency stop and limit switches, as well as lubricating moving parts. Quarterly inspections may involve checking the electrical connections and verifying the correct operation of safety devices. Annual inspections typically require a thorough examination by a qualified person, including testing the load-bearing capacity and ensuring all safety features are in good working order. Additionally, records of all inspections and maintenance should be kept for reference and compliance with safety regulations.
