14-5. Inspection Requirements.

a.  General. Inspect storage systems (for example, racking, shelving, blocking), packaging (for example, containers, pallets, boxes), and their components (for example, hoses, couplings) according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure they are in serviceable condition and capable of supporting the capacity and/or containing the material being stored. Remove from service and repair or discard any system and/or its components showing material deteriorations, signs of leakage, or weakness.  (14-5.a)

b.  Material Hoists.  (14-5.b)

(1)  Inspect and test material hoists and hoist tower systems according to the manufacturer’s instructions and ANSI/ASSP A10.5.

(2)  Prior to initial use and each time after the tower is extended or modified, a QP must perform a functionality test and inspect all parts of the tower or mast, cage, bucket, boom, platform, hoisting machine, guy, and other associated equipment, to ensure compliance with the manufacturer's inspection guidelines and ANSI/ASSP A10.5.

(3)  A QP must perform monthly inspections.  Maintain records of monthly inspection onsite and make them available upon request of the local SOHO/USACE supervisor/KO or COR.

(4)  The operator must conduct pre-operational inspections (for example, start-up procedures) prior to every operation (for example, shift, relocation) of the hoist.

(5)  The local SOHO/USACE supervisor/KO or COR must be notified at least 24 hours prior to any of the above inspections.

c.  Housekeeping.  Inspect work areas daily for adequate housekeeping and record the findings in daily inspection reports.  (14-5.c)

d.  Flammable Liquids. (14-5.d)

(1)  Inspect dispensing hoses according to the manufacturer’s instructions.  At a minimum, hoses that display any of the following are an indication of permanent damage and must be replaced immediately:

(a)  Cuts, abrasions, or cracks in the cover that penetrates to the reinforcement.

(b)  Blistering or loose cover.

(d)  Indication of coupling slippage or irregular coupling alignment.

(e)  Flattening or kinking resulting in permanent deformation.

(2)  Inspect storage tanks containing flammable liquids according to NFPA 30.
