Hi All,

Does anyone have any unique ideas on how to provide visual indicators, which would help demonstrate to a third party that lifting accessories (chains, strops etc) are within date of their mandatory inspection. We have all the ususals i.e. independant inspections, training, chains tags, certification etc.

What I am looking for is something highly visual and eye catching, so when carrying out site a inspection, if lifting accessories have not been inspected it is obviously apparent to the auditor.

I want to remove the excuse of ignorance on the part of the user.

Thanks in advnce

Colour coded cable ties, each colour represents a period in time

Slight variation on the idea suggested by Chris but something similar to the test date tags they use on gas cylinders, as shown in this link http://www.bcga.co.uk/pages/index.cfm?page_id=88

Your engineering insurance company that does your statutory testing should put coloured tags on the equipment for you and most will supply you with a board that shows the colour code for this inspection period.  If yours doesn't then you need to change your service provider.
