Insurance Companies now required 3rd party inspections>>

CFR § 1926.550 (a) (6): A thorough, annual inspection of the hoisting machinery shall be made by a competent person, or by a government or private agency recognized by U.S. Department of Labor The employer shall maintain a record of the dates and results of the inspections for each hoisting machine and piece of equipment.

OSHA has incorporated ANSI
B30.5 by 1926.550 (19) (b) (2).
The B20.5-3.1.1 (a) (4) Inspectors who have completed all operator trainee qualification requirements. However, liberal interpretation of this regulation has led to many owners believing they can satisfy this requirement by designing an in house inspector. The major problem with this approach is the natural conflict of interest an in-house inspector has with requiring costly repairs. Most insurers, major GCs, and major utilities have learned the hard way, in house inspection, to often are completed without ever seeing the machine. Or even more likely, without objectives effort a professional qualified inspector can provide.
