It's come to my attention that a REGAL INDUSTRIES CORPORATION 6,000lb coil feeder is only visually checked once a week. If any issue is found, it is reported to Maintenance who will then come out and address the issue. Furthermore, two of the coil arms have been damaged due to impact by a MEWP, and new arms have been fabricated internally and applied to the machine, unbeknownst to Health and Safety. After some fruitless research, I ask whether: 1. The equipment should be subject to a documented inspection regime. 2. Whether any modification should've been carried out by a reputable third-party, rather than in-house without anyone knowing.
Perhaps I'm worrying for nothing, but a conscientious nature can be both a blessing and a curse. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Hendlem Why not look at this from a risk management perspective rather than compliance with any particular code of regulations? So, what are the risks associated with these components and in what way have they changed as a result of replacement? Once you know the answer to those questions, then you can decide what level of competence was needed for the design and installation of the modifications and what inspection/maintenance/etc regime is appropriate.
