5.7.2 Thorough Examination following Installation
For some applications it may also be necessary to have the installation thoroughly examined by a Competent Person before the machine is put into service. (See 5.8 INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING)
As these machines are designed and intended for both lifting and pulling operations, unless a machine is installed in such a way that its use is restricted solely to a pulling operation there is always the possibility that they may be used to lift. It is therefore the view of LEEA that machines which are, or could be, used for both lifting and pulling operations should be treated as lifting machines and be subject to the full requirements of this code and applicable national legislation.
