Wire Rope Inspection Frequency

In Boston, MA, Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) wire rope systems must adhere to strict regulations outlined by the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB) and OSHA guidelines for the safe operation and maintenance of suspended building access equipment.

  • Daily Inspections: Operators must visually inspect BMU wire ropes daily before each use to identify visible wear, damage or abnormalities.
  • Monthly Inspections: A more detailed inspection of BMU systems, including wire ropes, must be conducted monthly by a qualified provider like Thompson.
  • Annual Inspections: NYC requires an annual inspection and certification of BMU equipment, performed by a licensed third-party engineer or specialist like Thompson.
  • Special Inspections: After severe weather or unusual events, like high winds or significant wear detection, wire ropes should undergo a special inspection.

Wire Rope Replacement Frequency

Replacement must be conducted every 18 months or sooner when inspections reveal significant wear or damage. Specific signs for replacement include:

  • Broken or frayed strands
  • Excessive corrosion or rust
