Exploitation 

It is always required for the developer to obtain a decision authorising the operation of a technical facility. The developer and the architects have to take into account a number of standards and requirements. Before operating a device subject to technical supervision. The operator shall report the equipment in writing to the authority of the relevant technical supervision unit. A positive result of the acceptance test will allow a decision to authorise the operation of the device. 

• When all procedures have passed without objection, the authority of the competent technical supervision body, issues a decision authorising the operation of the equipment. It thereby establishes the form of technical supervision that the equipment will be subject to.  

• On the other hand, if the inspection activities show negative results of the tests and operations performed, the authority of the competent technical supervision body refuses to issue a decision authorising the operation of the equipment. 

Building and passenger cranes 

A construction crane - otherwise known as a lift - is a permanently installed device for the vertical transfer of people or loads, either in cabs or on platforms. It stops at levels (floors). In Polish law, a licence to operate this type of lift is required. To do so, one should complete a dedicated course and pass the UDT exam.  

Division of cranes

Lifts can be divided due to their application into: 

• personnel (including lifts for the disabled);
• passenger and freight; 
• goods lifts;
• hospital;
• construction;
• theatre;
• special. 

Characteristics of lifts due to their use: 

• hospital crane - used to transport people, hospital beds and medical equipment; 
• passenger lift - is used to move people vertically between floors, electrically or hydraulically driven, transport is by means of rigid guides; 
• freight crane - without the right of access by persons to the cabin and without internal controls, moves along vertical guides; 
• freight and passenger crane - used to transport the load with those responsible for unloading it; 
• construction crane - freight or passenger-freight, transport is carried out in a cab or on a platform.
