But i’ve been reviewing our inspection protocols lately and noticed several areas where we tend to rush through… For example, during a recent site visit, I found some rigging components that hadn’t been inspected properly, which could lead to serious safety issues. Are there specific checkpoints you all prioritize during your inspections that seem to make a difference?
I always double-check the condition of slings and shackles — making sure they aren’t looking like they’ve gone through a wrestling match! It’s amazing how often those can slip through the cracks. Do you find the same with specific gear, or is it different for you?
I get what you’re saying about rushing through inspections. I’ve found that taking an extra few minutes to check the rigging angles makes a massive difference in preventing wear. Have you ever looked into using a digital checklist?
