How often does O.S.H.A. mandate a written inspection of wire rope?

Weekly
Once a year
Once a month
Every six months

The correct answer is: Once a month

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates that a written inspection of wire rope be conducted at least once a month. This frequency is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of overhead cranes and hoisting equipment, as regular inspections help identify any wear, damage, or deterioration that could compromise safety. Monthly inspections enable operators to detect issues early, such as fraying, broken wires, or signs of corrosion, which could lead to equipment failure if not addressed promptly. Regular documentation of these inspections is also vital for maintaining compliance with safety regulations and for keeping an accurate record of the equipment's condition over time, helping to ensure both operator safety and the longevity of the equipment.
