Car lift inspections—know the law.
Your BendPak lifting solution is the very best auto lift money can buy. Make sure it stays that way with BendPak's Car Lift Inspection service.
As an employer, you want to give your employees the safest and healthiest workplace environment possible. But it's not only your private duty—it's the law. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets and imposes strict safety guidelines to ensure that American's workers do not labor under needlessly hazardous conditions. These guidelines are often enforced in the form of stiff fines for willful violators of the federal standard. As of November 2009, OSHA's largest monetary penalty given to a single, non-compliant corporation was $87,430,000. And that's just what could happen in a scenario where no one gets hurt.
In today's "lawsuit-happy" workplace environment, injury lawyers are finding that non-compliant businesses are easy targets for negligence-based tort suits. If you don't keep up with recommended routine maintenance schedules, annual inspections and proper repair / service documentation, it's alarming how easily you can be shown to be liable in court.
The Automotive Lift Institute (ALI), the leading OSHA recognized lift certification organization in existence globally, recommends that car lifts undergo annual inspections administered by qualified lift inspectors specifically trained on procedures outlined by the ALOIM-2008 National Standard Covering Safety Requirements for Lift Operation, Inspection and Maintenance. In order to be valid, all such inspections, repairs, service and routine maintenance must be documented, detailed, placed on file and kept up-to-date. Proof of proper training must also be presented for each employee.
