We don't use BEEPs in Ontario. B44 has an appendix which lays out what monthly/yearly maintenance tasks must be completed. But Thyssen is moving awin y from that, as this appendix is being scrapped and the code will soon state that a maintenance control program must be in place. That program (MCP) will require documentation to be left in your machine room, outlining what tasks need to be preformed in what intervals. I'm assuming that'll be our version of a BEEP.

I definitely agree with sbrmilitia... maintain a good relationship and dialogue with your tech... he'll be the only one who can give you the good answers you're looking for. Not trying to take away from the account reps, but they rarely have any field experience...

Do you have an inspection authority for elevating devices in Alberta? We have the TSSA (tssa.org) who conduct periodic inspections. They are sworn-in officers of the province (carry a badge and all). I've found them much better to deal with than consultants...
