These standards are intended to ensure the safety of passengers and service engineers. IS 4591 The Indian Standard for Lift, Escalators and moving walks, includes requirements for balustrading, width, and angle and Standard for electric traction Lifts, includes requirements for limit switches, safety switches, and more specifications.

What We Cover

What should be covered during a thorough NLETA Inspections?

Risk Assessment: Undertaking a risk assessment includes routinely checking for hazards in lifting operations. Inspectors will identify the hazards and restricted areas while specifying the number of competent people required. They also dispatch the procedures for emergency, recovery and contingency plans while selecting the lifting equipment and check that the lifting appliances comply with applicable international standards and industry- accepted codes of practice.

Work Environment Conditions: While planning for the procedure of the job project the work environment is examined and accounted for in the execution process. The parameters that are ticked off the list cover weather, noise, visibility, terrain types, site access and surrounding operations. In case of a change in plans the contingency procedure will be prepared in advance.

Equipment Standards:Examination of relevant equipment standards which can be followed consist of the following.

Verification of documentation
Review of the previous inspection reports
Maintenance and equipment history
Use of lifting appliance in relation to lifespan analysis
Test of all functions, safety functions, and limit switche
Test of all emergency operation systems and functions
Measurement of wear and tear
Visual inspection
Wire rope sheave and wire rope inspection
Reporting and signing for completed control

Measuring the wear level: Inspectors look out for whether your equipment has been damaged by charring, excessive abrasion and has corrosion spots. These warning signs are taken seriously and include the mandated disposal of impaired rigging gear.

Periodic testing: To ensure that materials are safe and reliable material testing, laboratory testing and field testing are undertaken to proof test lifting equipment before it is brought into service. Laboratory testing is used as a follow-up if field testing of construction equipment is done later. Field testing is an on-site process to test the equipment’s physical properties and strength through a combination of visual inspection and non-destructive methods to protect the equipment from damage.
