How frequently impact wrenches are inspected?
We can all answer the typical 'prior to use' but what about more thorough and documented inspections?
This would generally be on a risk based assessment, dependent on the potential outcome should any components fail. It should be considered that a socket falling from height could result in serious if not considerable damage, devastating injuries, or worse.
The attached document highlights some of the criteria for inspection of the sockets used on impact wrenches for scaffolding fitting but will also apply to a vast variety of tools in use in the construction industry.
