Inspectors look for signs of wear, corrosion, broken wires, and other issues that could compromise safety. Regular inspections are critical to prevent accidents and equipment failures. Wire rope inspectors often work in industries such as construction, maritime, mining, and manufacturing.

How to do a wire rope inspector inspection?
