Inspection Frequency ¿ Are all listed crane assets strictly annual inspections , or do any require semi - annual or additional inspections during the performance period ?

We need to stagger the inspections to align with our maintenance and frequent inspection scheduleWe perform the following inspectionsDaily : Every time crane is used . This is done by Crane Operator ( Plant Mech ) Frequent : Every 6 months . This aligns with our yearly Preventive Maintenance done on Crane . This is done by inhouse Plant MechAnnual Inspection : This includes the same inspections done per frequent inspections plus any other standard inspections the third - party inspector normally performs . This work is done by Third Party crane inspection . The BOR will provide a Plant Mech to support third party crane inspector . The plant mech can operate the crane as needed for the inspector . 2 .
