Steps
Fetch 29 CFR 1926.1404 (assembly/disassembly general requirements) text from osha.gov
Confirm 1926.1404 requires that upon completion of assembly, the equipment be inspected to ensure compliance, cross-referencing 1926.1412(c) for the specific post-assembly inspection requirement
Confirm the assembly/disassembly (A/D) director role: must meet both competent-person and qualified-person criteria, or be a competent person assisted by one or more qualified persons
Verify the post-assembly inspection is performed before the crane is placed into service, not merely scheduled for the next periodic cycle
Document post-assembly inspection findings separately from the routine monthly/annual inspection record, since it is a distinct regulatory trigger
Known gotchas
1926.1404's post-assembly inspection requirement is triggered by the assembly/disassembly event itself, not by a calendar interval — do not fold it into the monthly or annual inspection schedule as if it were the same requirement
The A/D director qualification requirement is specific and non-trivial — confirm the individual meets both competent-person and qualified-person definitions under 1926.1401 before relying on their sign-off
