REFERENCE:ANSI/ASME B.30.16-2003 - Overhead Hoists (Underhung), Chapter 16-2 - Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance, Section 16-2.1.2 - Frequent Inspections, (c)The following items shall be inspected: (2)Hoist upper limit device of electric- or air-powered hoists, without a load on the hook, at the beginning of each shift. Care shall be exercised. The load block shall be inched into its limit device or run in slow speed on multi-speed or variable-speed hoists.
