Which inspection does not require records to be kept according to ASME B30.3?

Frequent inspections, as defined by ASME B30.3, are typically visual checks made by the operator or appointed personnel to ensure safe operation and identify any obvious defects or concerns. The intent of these inspections is to maintain safety during operation rather than providing comprehensive documentation of findings. Therefore, while they are critical for ongoing safety, they do not require formal records to be maintained. This distinction stands in contrast to initial and periodic inspections, which are more comprehensive in nature, requiring documentation to track the crane's condition and any findings over time to ensure compliance with safety regulations. The lack of mandatory record-keeping for frequent inspections reflects their more informal nature, focusing on immediate observations to facilitate safe crane use.
