SECTION 19-2.1: INSPECTION
All inspections shall be performed by a designated person. Any deficiencies identified shall be examined and a determination made by a qualified person as to whether they constitute a hazard, and if so, what additional steps need to be taken to address the hazard.
19-2.1.1 Inspection Classification
(a) Initial Inspection. Prior to initial use, all nev, reinstalled, altered, or modified cahieways shall be inspected to verify compliance with this Volume and the manufacturer’s or designer’s requirements.
(b) Inspection procedure for cableways is divided into two general classifications based upon the intervals at which inspection should be performed. The intervals in turn are dependent upon the nature of the critical components of the cableway and the degree of exposure to wear, deterioration, or malfunction. The two general classifications are herein designated as frequent and periodic, with respective interva is between inspections as defined below.
(1) Frequent inspection — daily to monthly intervals
(2) Periodic inspection — 1-month to 12-month intervals, or as specifically recommended by the manufacturer or designer
19-2.1.2 Frequent Inspection
Items such as the following shall be inspected at intervals as defined in para. 19-2.1.1(b)(1), or as specifically indicated by the manufacturer or designer, including observation during operations for any deficiencies that might appear between inspections. Written records are not required for frequent inspections.
(a) all control mechanisms for maladjustment interfering with proper operation — daily, when used
(b) all control mechanisms for excessive wear of components and contamination by lubricants or other foreign matter
(c) all operational aids for malfunction
(d) hooks and latches for deformation, chemical damage, cracks, and wear (refer to ASME B30.1O)
(e,) rope reeving in compliance with the plans and specifications
(f) electrical apparatus for malfunctioning and signs of excess deterioration, dirt, and moisture accumulation
(g) slack carriers for spacing and operating to prevent slack rope interferences
(h) towers (masts) shall be luffed to the maximum to ensure proper power, brake, and operational aid operation
(I) correct operation of aids to aviation — daily
(j) visual inspection of cable terminations and attachments for slippage or loose connection material — weekly/monthly
(k) tracks for obstruction
(1) communication systems
(in) all operating controls are labeled with their function and direction of motion
19-2.1.3 Periodic Inspection
Complete inspection of the cableway shall be performed at intervals as defined in para. 19-2.1.1(b)(2). A written record of the most recent periodic inspection shall be maintained and shall include condition of the cableway and its components. These inspections shall include the requirements of para. 19-2.1.2, in addition to the following:
(a) cableway structural members, including rails, for deformation, cracks, or corroded members
(b) structural fasteners for tightness
(c) sheaves and drums for cracked or worn surfaces
(d) pins, bearings, shafts, gears, rollers, and locking devices for wear, cracks, and distortion
(e) brake and clutch system parts, linings, pawls, and ratchets for excessive wear
(f) monitoring and limiting devices over their full range for any significant inaccuracies
(g) power plants for improper performance or noncompliance with applicable safety standards
(h) anchoring devices and structures for damage, unwarranted movement, or corrosion
19-2.1.4 Cableways Not in Regular Use
A cableway that has been idle for a period of less than 6 months shall be given an inspection conforming to the requirements of paras. 19-2.1.2, 19-2.4.2(a), and 19-2.4.3 before being returned to service. A cahieway that has been idle for 6 months or more shall be given an inspection conforming to the requirements of paras. 19-2.1.3, 19-2.4.2(b), and 19-2.4.3 before being returned to service.
