Safety inspections at regular intervals and after exceptional events
NOTICE
Carry out a safety check in accordance with national regulations.
Jungheinrich recommends checks in accordance with FEM Guideline 4.004
Jungheinrich offers a special safety service for inspections with appropriately
trained employees.
The industrial truck must be checked at least once a year (take note of the national
requirements) or after unusual events (e.g. after an accident) by a person especially
qualified to do so. The inspector must deliver an appraisal and evaluation only from
the point of view of safety, uninfluenced by operational and financial circumstances.
He must demonstrate adequate knowledge and experience to be able to assess the
condition of an industrial truck and the effectiveness of the safety equipment in
accordance with engineering rules and the principles for the inspection of industrial
trucks.
A complete inspection must be performed of the technical condition of the industrial
truck in reference to accident safety. The industrial truck must also be thoroughly
examined for damage that could be caused by any improper use. An inspection
record must be compiled. The results of the inspection must be retained at least until
the next but one inspection.
The owner must ensure that all defects are rectified without delay.
If the industrial truck does not meet the normal operating and/or safety criteria and it
is impossible to restore it to a condition meeting the relevant standards, guidelines
and regulations for safety at work, it must be scrapped. The dismantled components
and the operating materials removed from the vehicle must be disposed of
professionally in accordance with applicable environment protection regulations.
NOTICE
The manufacturer has established a special safety service for this purpose,
with specially qualified employees. As visual confirmation that the industrial
truck has passed the safety inspection, a label is attached to the truck.
This label shows the month and year in which the inspection must be
repeated.
