Training of all operators will include the following:
1: Capacities of equipment and attachments.
2: Purpose, use and limitation of controls.
3: How to make daily checks.
4: The energizing sequences, including pneumatic, hydraulic,
and electrical sequences.
5: Start-up and shutdown procedures.

8: All basic signaling procedures, including hand, radio, or
telephone signals, where required.
9: Overhead and Gantry Cranes, OSHA standards.
10: Practice in operating the assigned equipment through the
mechanical functions necessary to perform the required task.
11: Maximum rated capacity of the crane.VI: Inspection
The inspection procedure for cranes in regular service is divided
into 3 general classifications:
1: Frequent inspections are done daily (visual)
2: Frequent inspections monthly (records maintained).
3: Periodic inspections are done annually (records maintained).
The inspections cover topics outlined in the standard or
manufacturers guidelines. Monthly inspections require
documentation. Records are maintained in the Safety Director’s
Office.
At the beginning of each shift during which a crane is
used, a visual inspection must be made in accordance with
Table 1 and 2.
VII: Electrical Safety
Electrical equipment shall be so located or enclosed that live
parts will not be exposed to accidental contact under normal

2. operating conditions. Electric equipment shall be protected from
dirt, grease, oil, and moisture. Guards for live parts shall be
substantial and so located that they cannot be accidently
deformed so as to make contact with the live parts.
VIII Maintenance
The company, must maintain crane and its accessories in a
condition that will not endanger an operator or other employee.
A preventative maintenance program will be established and the
program will be based on the manufacturer’s recommendations
and for the application as reviewed by a qualified person.
Before adjustments or repairs are made on a crane, all of the
following precautions must be taken:
1: The crane will be moved to a location where it will cause the
least interference with other moving equipment on the track or
rails and operations in the area.
2: Controllers will be placed in the “off” position.
3: The main switch will be placed in the “off” position or
“open” position and LOCKED OUT, except where power is
necessary to adjust or service the crane.
4: A warning sign or “out of order” sign will be placed at the
operator control station.
5: Illumination of 15 foot-candles intensity will be provided
while maintenance is performed on the crane.
If any other crane uses the same runway, then a protective
device must be used to prevent interference with the idle crane
undergoing repairs. If a protective device is impracticable, then
a signal person must be placed at a visual vantage point to warn
the operator of the active crane when it reaches the limit of safe
distance from the idle crane.
A crane that has been adjusted or repaired must not be returned
to normal operation until all guards have been replaced, locks
removed by those who installed them, or their supervisor, safety
devices reactivated, and the maintenance equipment removedIX:
Use of Slings

3. New slings are marked by the manufacture to show:
1: The rated load for each type of hitch, and
2: The type of synthetic web material.
In addition, slings may be marked to show:
1: The manufacturer's code or stock number.
2: The name or trademark of the manufacturer.
Rated loads are based on:
1: Material strength,
2: Design factor,
3: Type of hitch,
4: Angle of loading
5: Diameter of curvature over which the sling is used, and
6: Fabrication efficiency.
Do not use horizontal angles less than 30 degrees except as
recommended by the sling manufacturer or a qualified person.
Ensure that mechanical fittings used as part of a synthetic web
sling meet the following:
1: Materials are compatible with the mechanical and
environmental requirements of the sling,
2: Fittings have a rated load at least the same as the synthetic
webbing sling,
3: Fittings have sufficient strength to sustain twice the rated
load of the sling without visible permanent deformation.
4: Surfaces are clean, and sharp edges are removed.
1. Inspections:
A qualified person shall inspect slings each day before use for
damage or defects.
This qualified person also performs additional periodic
inspections where service conditions warrant, as determined on
the basis of:
A. Frequency of sling use.
B. Severity of service conditions.
C. Nature of lifts being made.
D. Experience gained during the service life of slings used in

4. similar circumstances.
Make periodic inspections of synthetic web slings at intervals
no greater than 12 months.
Make a thorough inspection of slings and attachments. Items to
look for include:
A. Missing or illegible sling identification.
B. Acid or caustic burns.
C. Melting or charring of any part of the sling.
D. Holes, tears, cuts, or snags.
E. Broken or worn stitching in load bearing splices,
F. Excessive abrasive wear.
G. Knots in any part of the sling.
H. Discoloration and brittle or stiff areas on any part of the
sling.
I. Pitted, corroded, cracked, bent, twisted, gouged, or broken
fittings.
J. Other conditions that cause doubt as to continued use of a
sling.
K. Where any such damage or deterioration is present, remove
the sling or attachment from service immediately.
2. Repairing/Reconditioning:
Do not use worn or damaged slings or attachments. Discard or
repair them. Use damaged slings only after they are repaired,
reconditioned, and proof tested by the sling manufacturer or a
qualified person using the following criteria:
3. Operating practices:
Do not use synthetic web slings with loads in excess of the
rated load capacities described in the appropriate tables. Ensure
that synthetic web slings have suitable characteristics for the
type of load, hitch, and environment in which they will be used
and that they are not used with loads in excess of the rated load
capacities described in the appropriate tables on the OSHA
website. Consult the sling manufacturer or a qualified person
for synthetic web slings not included in the tables. Follow other
safe operating practices, including:

5. 4. Cautions to Personnel
A. Ensure that all portions of the human body are kept away
from the areas between the sling and the load and between the
sling and the crane or hoist hook.
B. Ensure that personnel never stand in line with or next to the
legs of a sling that is under tension.
C. Ensure that personnel do not stand or pass under a suspended
load.
D. Ensure that personnel do not ride the sling or the load, unless
the load is specifically designed and tested for carrying
personnel.
5. Effects of Environment
A. Store slings in an area where they will not be subjected to
mechanical, chemical, or ultraviolet damage, or to extreme
temperatures.
B. When slings are exposed to extreme temperatures, follow the
guidance provided by the sling manufacturer or qualified
person.
C. Consult the sling manufacturer for recommended inspection
procedures when nylon or polyester webbing slings are
extensively exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light.
6. Rigging Practices
A. Ensure that slings are hitched in a manner providing control
of the load.
B. Ensure that sharp edges in contact with slings are padded
with material of sufficient strength to protect the sling.
C. Ensure that slings are shortened or adjusted only by methods
approved by the sling manufacturer or a qualified person.
D. Ensure that, during lifting with or without a load, personnel
are alert for possible snagging.
E. Ensure that, in a basket hitch, the load is balanced to prevent
slippage.
F. When using a basket hitch, ensure that the legs of the sling
contain or support the load from the sides, above the center of

6. gravity, so that the load remains under control.
G. Do not drag slings on the floor or over abrasive surfaces,
H. Ensure that, in a choker hitch, the choke point is only on the
sling body, never on a splice or fitting.
I. Ensure that slings are not constricted, bunched, or pinched by
the load, hook, or any fitting.
J. Ensure that the load applied to the hook is centered in the
base (bowl) of the hook to prevent point loading on the hook,
unless the hook is designed for point loading.
K. Ensure that an object in the eye of a sling is not wider than
one-third the length of the eye.
L. Do not shorten or lengthen a sling by knotting or twisting,
M. Do not rest loads on the sling.
A. Ensuring that employees who operate powered industrial
trucks in their departments have received appropriate training.
B. Providing observations and feedback to operators to ensure
safe equipment operation.
C. Ensuring that the vehicles under their responsibility are
properly inspected and maintained in a safe operating
