and drawings where applicable shall be developed by a qualified person and be available at the work site until all steel erection activity is completed. Guidelines for establishing a site specific erection plan are contained in 29 C.F.R. 1926 Subpart R Appendix A. - (9) 29 C.F.R. §1926.753(c)(1)(i) is amended to read as follows: Cranes being used in steel erection activities shall be visually inspected prior to each shift by a competent person; the inspection shall include observation for potential deficiencies that may occur during operation. At a minimum this inspection shall include the following: - (A) All control mechanisms for maladjustments; - (B) Control and drive mechanism for excessive wear of components and contamination by lubricants, water, or other foreign matter; - (C) Safety devices, including but not limited to boom angle indicators, boom stops, boom kick out devices, anti-two block devices, and load moment indicators where required; - (D) Air, hydraulic, and other pressurized lines for deterioration or leakage, particularly those that flex in normal operation; - (E) Hooks and latches for deformation, chemical damage, cracks, or wear; - (F) Wire rope reeving for compliance with hoisting equipment manufacturer's specifications; - (G) Electrical apparatus for malfunctioning, signs of excessive deterioration, dirt, or moisture accumulation;

For hooks with cracks or having more than 15% in excess of normal throat opening or more than 10 twist from the plane of the  unbent hook. - (f) Rope reeving for noncompliance with manufacturer's recommendations. - (g) Electrical apparatus for malfunctioning, signs of excessive deterioration, dirt, and moisture accumulation. - (3) Periodic inspection . You must perform complete inspections of the crane at intervals as generally defined in subsection (1)(b) of this section depending upon its activity, severity of service, and environment, or as specifically indicated below. These inspections must include the requirements of subsection (2) of this section and in addition, items such as the following. You must carefully examine any deficiencies such as listed and determine whether they constitute a safety hazard: - (a) Deformed, cracked, or corroded members, in the crane structure and boom. - (b) Loose bolts or rivets. - (c) Cracked or worn sheaves and drums. - (d) Worn, cracked, or distorted parts such as pins, bearings, shafts, gears, rollers and locking devices. - (e) Excessive wear on brake and clutch system parts, linings, pawls, and ratchets. - (f) Load, boom angle, and other indicators over their full range, for any significant inaccuracies. - (g) Gasoline, diese…

Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division Division 2 - (iii) Standby cranes shall be inspected at least semiannually in accordance with requirements of paragraph (d)(3) of this section and paragraph (g)(2)(ii) of this section. Such cranes which are exposed to adverse environment should be inspected more frequently. - (6) Inspection records. Certification records which include the date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the inspection and the serial number, or other identifier, of the crane which was inspected shall be made monthly on critical items in use such as brakes, crane hooks, and ropes. This certification record shall be kept readily available. - (e) Testing. - (1) Operational tests. - (i) In addition to prototype tests and quality-control measures, each new production crane shall be tested by the manufacturer to the extent necessary to insure compliance with the operational requirements of this paragraph including functions such as the following: - (A) Load hoisting and lowering mechanisms. - (B) Boom hoisting and lowering mechanisms. - (C) Swinging mechanism. - (D) Travel mechanism. - (E) Safety devices. - (ii) Where the complete production crane is not supplied by one manufacturer such tests shall be conducted at final assembly. - (iii) Certified production-crane test results shall be made available. - (2) Rated load test. - (i) Written reports shall be available showing test procedures and confirming the adequacy of repairs or alterations. - (ii) Test loads shall not exceed 110 percent of the rated load at any selected working radius. - (iii) Where rerating is necessary: - (A) Crawler, truck, and wheel-mounted cranes shall be tested in accordance with SAE Recommended Practice, Crane Load Stability Test Code J765 (April 1961).
