What this sheet is for

Keep track of what lifting gear you hold, what each item is marked at, and when each was last examined.

Who it is for

Workshops, garages, farms, yards, small contractors and anyone with slings and chains in a cupboard.

How to use it

  1. Give every item an ID mark and record it here.
  2. Copy the working load limit from the marking on the item itself.
  3. Record the examination certificate number, and keep the certificates elsewhere.
  4. Quarantine anything unmarked, unidentified or overdue.
  5. Record what happened to items taken out of service.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

Why is no working load limit or examination interval printed?

Because a capacity taken from a printable rather than from the marking on the item is how people get hurt, and examination intervals and who may carry them out differ by country. Both come from the equipment and your local rules.
