24.7.1 Supply Documentation

The definitions of lifting equipment and accessories used in this code of practice make it clear that a device used to connect a load to a lifting appliance is a lifting accessory and should be supplied with the documentation required by the applicable supply legislation. A barrel lifter is therefore a lifting accessory. The supply documentation, together with the Reports of Thorough Examination, should be retained and cross-referenced to the barrel lifter’s historical records for inspection by the Competent Person or local enforcing authority.
