Where the safety of work equipment depends on the manner in which it was installed, it should be inspected by a competent person after installation, and before being brought into use, and at regular intervals thereafter. The MCA strongly recommends that the maximum interval between inspections should be 5 years for work equipment, or any shorter period recommended by the manufacturer. A “competent person” should carry out all inspections.
