Periodic and documentary inspections

The periodic inspections to which lifting equipment must be subjected

L.L.D. 81/08 establishes the conduct that the employer must implement regarding work equipment for lifting loads and personnel, such as aerial platforms (Elevating Work Platforms) and Forklifts. The Decree lays down and sanctions the rules concerning the obligation to train the operators in charge of such lifting devices, the PPE that are indispensable in their use, and the periodic checks necessary to assess the condition of the equipment. The obligations arising from the verification of lifting equipment refer to all stages of the equipment's life from its commissioning to its cessation of service. Leader can assist you in implementing all the steps required by the decree so that you can regularise every aspect of your aerial platform. We handle periodic inspections for lifting equipment, forklifts, and aerial platforms. Contact us to request a quote for our overhaul work and any necessary documentation.

Obligations and verifications required by law

Below, we will briefly list the employer's obligations regarding the lifting equipment used.

COMMISSIONING

From the moment the aerial platform is put into service, the company must notify the INAIL responsible for the territory in which it is located of the commissioning of the machine.

FIRST VERIFICATION

One year after commissioning, the company must request the first verification of the machine. This verification is carried out by ISPESL. After 45 days, has INAIL still not sent a technician to check the vehicle? Then the company is obliged to engage other public or private entities in the annual check. LEADER can take action and check your aerial platforms after the vehicle has been in service for one year.

ANNUAL VERIFICATIONS

According to Annex VII of Legislative Decree 81/08, aerial platforms must be inspected and audited annually. These annual inspections can be carried out by:

ATS/ASL
ARP
Authorised public or private entities.

When the lifting equipment ceases its service or if the equipment undergoes a relocation, it will be necessary to notify the competent territorial INAIL.
