(1) Inspect the Beam Trolley labels to verify that they are present and legible. See section 2.2 for the
specific labels that should be present and the information contained thereon. Check the
Formal Inspection Log to be sure a Formal Inspection has been performed within the last six months.
If the Log does not indicate that a Formal Inspection has been performed within the last six months, or
if any labels are missing or illegible, remove the device from use and mark it as "UNUSABLE" until a
Formal Inspection is performed by a competent person.
(2) Arrange the Beam Trolley so that the parts to be inspected are readily visible. Perform a visual inspec-
tion of the trolley wheels, crossbar, swivel ring, webbing, and toggle plates.
(3) Verify that the unit can adjust and lock properly on the beam flange.
(4) Verify that the trolley wheels are engaged on the flange of the I-beam and that the trolley travels
smoothly across the beam.
If any damage that could affect the strength or operation or unsafe conditions are found, the
anchorage connector must be rendered unusable and then disposed of properly. If there is any ques-
tion as to reliability or suitability for service, contact MSA.
5.3
Procedure for Formal Inspection
The Formal Inspection Procedure is similar to the user's inspection before each use described in
section 5.2. However, it should be performed by a competent person other than the user who is trained and
authorized to perform the Formal Inspection. The Formal Inspection should be documented and a copy of
the inspection log retained for future reference. An example inspection form is provided in section 5.4.
