Where must information displayed on the rope data tag be recorded when ropes are replaced?

The information displayed on the rope data tag must be recorded in the log book when ropes are replaced. This is essential because the log book serves as a comprehensive record of all maintenance and modifications performed on elevating devices. By documenting the details of rope replacement in the log book, operators ensure compliance with safety regulations and maintain an accurate history of the equipment, which is crucial for future inspections, proper maintenance, and safety audits.

Recording such information helps technicians, safety inspectors, and facility managers track the lifespan and performance of the ropes, understand the maintenance history, and verify that the proper ropes are used in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. This documentation is vital for the ongoing safety and reliability of the elevating device.

The other options do not provide the same level of comprehensive tracking and history needed for maintenance records. For example, an inspection report typically focuses on the results of specific inspections rather than comprehensive maintenance history; an incident log is used for recording unusual occurrences or accidents; while a maintenance schedule outlines planned maintenance tasks but may not capture specific rope data details immediately or comprehensively.
