Steps
Pull the current text of 1926.1412 from osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.1412.
Note that paragraph (f) requires a qualified person to inspect the equipment at least every 12 months, with disassembly as necessary to complete the inspection.
Cross-check the annual inspection scope against paragraph (f)(2)'s itemized list (structure, welds, sheaves, brake/clutch parts, hydraulic components, safety devices, etc.).
Confirm documentation requirements under (f)(7): items checked, results, inspector's name/signature and date, retained for a minimum of 12 months.
Distinguish this from the monthly inspection in paragraph (e), whose records only need to be retained a minimum of 3 months under (e)(3)(ii).
Known gotchas
Don't conflate the 12-month annual-inspection retention period (1926.1412(f)(7)) with the 3-month monthly-inspection retention period (1926.1412(e)(3)(ii)) — they are different subsections with different minimums.
1926.1412(f) is a self-inspection requirement performed by a 'qualified person,' who can be a qualified employee — OSHA itself does not mandate a third-party inspection agency, though some state licensing boards or insurers may impose that separately.
