Operators learn how to designate a particular individual to perform inspections, how to report problems, and how to maintain the log book.

Each and every inspection should be carried out and documented on a regular basis. Things which should be inspected for possible problems, consist of: hooks for cracks, increases in the throat opening, degree of twist; hoist ropes for corrosion, worn wires, loss of diameter, kinks and bird caging, broken wires, heat and chemical damage; chains for nicks and gouges, corrosion and cracks, twists, excessive wear, distortion, pits, stretching, damage from extreme heat.

The operator would get to learn the right methods about correct rigging measures.
