Open as app – free

Lifting equipment (cranes, hoists, overhead cranes, lift tables, slings) must undergo a periodic thorough examination by a competent person. The hard part is tracking which item is due when – and finding the certificates.

This template is the log around the examination: each item is recorded with its last examination, certificate reference and next due date, so "Overdue" surfaces what's approaching. It doesn't perform the examination – it makes sure nothing is forgotten.
