All rights reserved 11 ix. The status of all equipment should be known by all people using it and all who may be affected by it. The status is to be clearly identified. x. All checks are to be done by a responsible person trained in pre-use and in- service inspection. xi. Only trained people should be allowed in areas where lifting equipment is used xii. The equipment in use is only to be made of material suitable for the conditions under which it is to be used. xiii. All fixing points and mountings are to be of adequate strength and capability xiv. Environmental aspects need to be taken into consideration e.g. when out of doors, high winds and temperature which may affect structural integrity xv. Equipment that has been stored needs to be checked prior to use. xvi. All Lifting Equipment must be stored and controlled to prevent accidental use of damaged and worn equipment. 3.2 Crane on Hire The crane hire company has a duty to ensure that when a mobile crane is hired out, a physical evidence must accompany it (e.g. a copy of the last examination report issued by Approved agency), and the user should ensure that this evidence is available. The user should ensure that the crane is thoroughly examined by a competent person before it is put into use, to make sure it is safe to operate. The user has the duty to manage the subsequent lifting operations in a safe manner. The user (as an employer or a self- employed person) also has the duty to ensure that periodic thorough examinations are undertaken at the frequencies laid down in this protocol. The user may well come to an arrangement with the hirer under which the hirer carries out the thorough examinations, but that does not alter the user's duty to make sure they are done.
