In order to ensure occupational health and safety in the workplace and to regulate the duties, powers, responsibilities and rights and obligations of employers and employees, In 2012, the Occupational Health and Safety Law was enacted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security. Based on this law, the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment was issued in 2013.
The basis of this regulation is the European Machinery Directive 2006 / 42 / EC.
In these regulations, lifting machines are generally defined as those machines capable of effectively and safely lifting and holding air at least one and a half times the heaviest load accepted, and with sufficient brakes to withstand this load.
Hoisting machines must be inspected by persons who use them before starting work. In addition, the steel ropes, chains, hooks, brakes and automatic stoppers of these machines must be inspected by a qualified technical expert every three months. After such checks, a control document must be issued and stored in a special file.
The said regulation (Annex-III), which describes the issues related to maintenance, repair and periodic checks, includes the following principles regarding lifting and transmission equipments under the title of work equipment subject to periodic control:
- Unless there is a contrary criterion in the standards, lifting and conveying equipment can effectively and safely lift and hold at least the 1,25 floor of the declared load. In addition, lifting and transmission equipment must be equipped with this load-resistant load brakes.
- Regular inspections of lifting and conveying equipment should be carried out by mechanical engineers, machine technicians or high technicians. If these regular inspections are to be carried out by non-destructive testing methods, inspections should only be carried out by engineers, technicians or technicians trained in accordance with the TS EN 473 standard.
In the annex of the said regulation, the regular inspection criteria and control periods of some lifting and conveying equipment are shown.
our organization TÜRCERT Technical Control and Certification Inc.performs regular controls of lifting and conveying equipment of the enterprises. The services provided in this context include the following lifting and transmission equipment:
- Crane inspection
- Mobile crane inspection
- Platform inspection
- Pallet truck inspection
- Forklift inspection
- Carascal examination
- Vehicle lift inspection
- Elevator inspection
- Cargo lift inspection
- Lift inspection
Most of the accidents in the workplace are caused by the lack of regular maintenance of the machinery and equipment. Preventing such incidents that result in death and ensuring the safety of employees is the first priority of enterprises.
In fulfilling these responsibilities, the enterprises are obliged to have regular checks to ensure that the risky machines, which create danger during their operation, have the necessary conditions. Machines that are found to be at risk in some way should be repaired in a short time and stopped to be used within this period.
The regulation also provides a number of additional conditions for regular checks.
Our organization conducts regular checks of lifting and conveying equipment in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Law and the Regulation on Health and Safety in the Use of Work Equipment. It also conducts these checks and reports on the basis of the authority they have received from national and international accreditation bodies. It is of no value to have these controls performed by a non-accredited testing and inspection body.
Our company TÜRCERT Technical Control and Certification Inc., a competent manager and employee staff and has a strong infrastructure. It provides quality, reliable and fast control services of all kinds of lifting and conveying equipment.
