Graded A+ A competent person must ____ before each shift. - ANSPerform a visual inspection of equipment. A critical lift is? - ANSA lift at 75% of equipments rated capacity. Also, critical lifts can be expensive, hard to replace, or awkward. Annual Inspections must be performed by? - ANSA qualified person. Must include functional testing. Inspection records must be kept for 12 months. Name, SIG, date of inspection and results.
