Since 1939 there has been a system of inspection for lifting gear in the Netherlands which can be applied. Inspection of lifting gear is mandatory by law, not least recommended bearing in mind safety.<\/p>\n<p>The statutory requirements in respect of lifting and hoisting equipment states that&nbsp;<em>&lsquo;lifting and hoisting equipment shall be examined with respect to its proper working order at least once a year by an expert natural person, corporation or institution, which includes, where necessary, testing. This person or institution possesses the necessary equipment to do this.&rsquo;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>EKH tables for the inspection of lifting gear<\/h3>\n<p>The following tables provide a summary of the frequency at which lifting gear should be inspected. These are the periods\/intervals which are used by all certified EKH companies. This applies to the inspection, testing and approval of lifting gear.<\/p>\n<p>All periods\/intervals specified are the minimum frequency at which they must undergo inspection. However, these periods should always be adjusted (i.e. shortened) if lifting gear is subject to intensive or heavy-duty work. This is in conformity with the regulations which are included in the manufacturer&rsquo;s manual. The summary below shows the test load (expressed in percentage terms) that must be used during testing and inspecting. This applies for both the annual and the 4-yearly inspections.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2004\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ekh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/inspection-of-lifting-gear.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"729\" height=\"2146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ekh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/inspection-of-lifting-gear.png 729w, https:\/\/www.ekh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/inspection-of-lifting-gear-522x1536.png 522w, https:\/\/www.ekh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/inspection-of-lifting-gear-696x2048.png 696w, https:\/\/www.ekh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/inspection-of-lifting-gear-500x1472.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2004 lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAzIDIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"\" width=\"729\" height=\"2146\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ekh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/inspection-of-lifting-gear.png\" data-srcset=\"\" srcset=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2006\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ekh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/inspection-of-lifting-gear.2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"269\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-2006 lazy\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAzIDIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"269\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ekh.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/inspection-of-lifting-gear.2.png\" data-srcset=\"\" srcset=\"\"><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Through regular inspection of lifting gear, it is possible to minimise the risk of accidents occurring.
