Equipment planning guide
Mortuary Lift Inspection & Maintenance Planning
Build a maintenance record around the instructions for the exact lift in service. This planning checklist does not replace manufacturer inspection, service or operating procedures.
Identify the equipment record
Keep the model, serial number, operating instructions and service information together. Include documentation for attachments or accessories used with the lift.
Use the documented inspection requirements
Follow the checks and intervals specified for the selected model. Do not apply an interval or procedure from a different lift simply because both use similar mechanisms.
Plan service access
Identify who is authorized to perform the required work and how service requests will be recorded. Follow the equipment instructions and facility procedure when a defect or operating concern is identified.
Review changes before reuse
Record changes to attachments, receiving equipment or the intended task. Obtain the necessary compatibility review rather than assuming an existing maintenance record approves a new arrangement.
