MAINTENANCE & REPAIR

Maintenance Inspections to Ensure Safety and Equipment Functionality

All Suspended Powered Platforms dedicated to the building are required to undergo a maintenance inspection and function test prior to the start of a work cycle and where the work cycle is more than 30 days to confirm the equipment is functioning properly and minimizing any and all setbacks. OSHA 1910.66(g)(3)(i)

A maintenance inspection and, where necessary a test shall be made of each platform installation prior to the start of a work cycle and where the work cycle is more than 30 days, such inspection and/or test shall be made at least every 30 days during the work cycle. This inspection and test shall follow procedures recommended by the manufacturer and shall be made by a SIT company.

The building owner shall keep a certification record of each inspection and test performed. The certification record shall include the date of the inspection and test, the signature of the person who performed the inspection and/or test, and an identifier for the platform installation which was inspected. The certification record shall be kept readily available for review by the Division and by the employer.

What's the difference between a SIT inspection and a maintenance inspection?

SIT is the annual §3296 certification; maintenance inspections happen more often, including mandatory 30-day-cycle checks during extended work.

How fast can FEIS respond to an equipment failure?

24/7 emergency availability — e.g., diagnosing a failed hoist motor within an hour of an after-hours call, crew on-site the next morning.

Do you service Sky Climber systems specifically?

Yes, plus other manufacturers' equipment.

What documentation do I get after a repair or maintenance visit?

Certification record with date, technician signature, platform identifier.
