Our rigging inspection checklist template provides a comprehensive framework for systematically evaluating all critical rigging components before operations begin. Unlike generic safety forms, this specialized template covers specific inspection points for wire ropes, hardware, synthetic slings, hooks, and load-bearing components—all structured according to OSHA standards. You’ll efficiently document equipment condition, identify potential hazards, and maintain compliance records in one centralized form.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, proper rigging inspections can prevent up to 85% of rigging-related incidents in the workplace. When you’re responsible for worker safety and equipment integrity, this template transforms complex inspection requirements into a manageable, systematic process.

Frequently asked questions

What should I look for when inspecting wire ropes on a rigging inspection checklist?

Focus on identifying broken wires (more than 10 distributed or 5 in one lay is concerning), kinks, birdcaging, crushing, or severe abrasion. Check for proper lubrication, measure the diameter for reduction, and examine end attachments for integrity. Wire ropes showing excessive wear, corrosion, or structural damage should be immediately removed from service and replaced to prevent catastrophic failures.

How often should I complete a rigging inspection checklist?

Complete visual inspections before each use, but formal documented inspections vary by usage intensity. OSHA and ASME standards require at minimum one thorough periodic inspection every 12 months, but more frequent checks are needed for severe service conditions, frequent use, or after exceptional events. Daily inspections for active equipment and monthly checks for stored equipment are industry best practices for maintaining safety.

What are the rejection criteria for synthetic slings on a rigging inspection checklist?

Remove synthetic slings from service if you find acid burns, melting/charring, holes, tears, cuts, broken stitching in load-bearing splices, or excessive abrasion. Also watch for discoloration and brittle/stiff areas indicating chemical or UV damage. Core yarn exposure in round slings is particularly dangerous as it compromises the sling’s structural integrity and load-bearing capacity.
