What this sheet is for
Catch a weeping jack or a bent axle stand before somebody is lying under it. Each item gets a line, so anything taken out of use is on record and stays out of use.
Who it is for
Garages, fleet and plant workshops, colleges and anyone with jacks, axle stands or an engine crane in regular use.
How to use it
- Give every jack, stand, crane and prop an ID and mark it on the item.
- Go through the items one by one, looking at the points listed for that type.
- Copy the capacity from the item's own marking and the date its next thorough examination is due.
- Label anything faulty, keep it apart from the rest and write what was done in the defect column.

Questions
Does this replace the thorough examination?
No. A periodic thorough examination by a competent person is separate, and how often it is needed is set by the rules where you are. This is the workshop's own check in between, which catches the damage that happens in daily use.
Why is no safe working load printed?
Because every item has its own rating, marked on it by its maker. Copy it from the item, and if the marking is missing or unreadable, take the item out of use until its rating is known.
