Study Notes

LEEA Academy Training Agreement

Students must follow facilitator instructions and adhere to health and safety rules.
Respect the cleanliness of training areas and notify facilitators of any concerns or learning difficulties.
Maintain punctuality during sessions, keeping mobile phones on silent.
Provide feedback and engage in group discussions while respecting opinions.

Responsibilities of the Training Facilitator

Ensure student health, safety, and welfare throughout the training.
Deliver high-quality training and maintain professional standards.
Maintain confidentiality regarding student information and provide regular progress feedback.
Keep records of assessments and be available for student concerns.

Written Scheme of Examination Requirements

Must include the owner's name and address of the lifting equipment.
Identify the responsible person’s contact details for maintenance and operations.
Incorporate the qualifications and position of the individual drawing up the scheme.
Detail the equipment identity, including make, model, and unique identity number.
Specify the equipment’s location and any references used in creating the scheme.

Examination Scheme Benefits

Permits tailored examination intervals focusing on safety-critical areas.
Aims to reduce costs while enhancing safety without incurring additional expenses.
Should consider the condition and environment of the equipment, usage frequency, and expected component life.

Chain Safety and Maintenance

Alignment between the hoist chain and load wheel is crucial to prevent failure.
Chains must be under tension to engage properly and should be inspected for corrosion.
Proper lubrication is essential, utilizing acid-free lubricants suitable for high bearing pressures.

Frequent Inspection Protocols

Conduct regular inspections for wire ropes to identify broken wires, wear, and lubrication issues.
Specific attention should be given to areas prone to accelerated wear with BS ISO 4309 providing discard criteria based on rope condition.

Load Rope Discard Criteria

Maximum allowable broken wires depend on the Rope Category Number (RCN).
For an ordinary-lay rope (RCN 02), parameters are established for broken wire limits based on rope length.
When RCN is unknown, calculate allowable broken wires by assessing the total number in the outer layer.

Key Points on Chain Functionality

Chains should fit properly in guides to ensure safety.
Chains must hang straight without twists; swivels should be used on load hooks to prevent twisting.
Load chains should never be back hooked or choked to maintain safety during operation.
