Subject: Lifting Appliances for Non Cargo Handling
I refer to the above subject and I wish to inform you the following:
The Republic of Cyprus has ratified the ILO Convention 147 by virtue of Law 13 (III) of 1995. Part V of this law contains a general provision with regard to the prevention of occupational accidents.
In this respect, the lifting appliances for handling non cargo items (e.g. provisions cranes, engine room gantry cranes, crew lifts, hose handling davits and other fitting appliances with SWL of 1000 Kg or greater) must be approved and tested not later than the first annual or renewal class survey after 01/01/2002 and should be subject to periodical inspections and tests in accordance with the Rules and regulations of the ship´s Classification Society.
