A crane inspection tag is a heavy-duty safety tag used to log periodic and frequent inspections of a crane or hoist, as required by OSHA. It serves as a vital safety record, attached directly to the crane controls.
OSHA (1910.179) mandates that all active cranes be inspected frequently (daily to monthly) and periodically (1 to 12 months) by a qualified person. The tag serves as the on-site log of these inspections. This helps ensure compliance, similar to tags for ladder inspection.
A crane tag includes a checklist of critical components to inspect, such as the hook, hoist, ropes, brakes, and limit switches. It has columns for the date of inspection and the inspector's initials. For full customization, explore our custom inspection tags.
Crane tags are designed for the harshest industrial environments. They are typically made from thick, rigid, all-weather plastic or vinyl that is waterproof and resistant to tearing, chemicals, and grease. You can also view our selection of general durable tags.
A Frequent Inspection tag is used to log the daily or weekly operational checks. A Periodic Inspection tag is used by a qualified technician to log the more detailed monthly or annual inspection of the crane. This information is key to the overall maintenance record.
Cranes play a vital role in the construction, transport, and manufacturing industry as one of the most expensive pieces of equipment. So why not have a tag to keep track of such a vital piece of equipment?
