6.09 special requirements for Cranes: - ANSSpecial Requirements for
Cranes.
(a) Loading.
Material moving, handling or hoisting machinery shall be loaded in
accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Manufacturers' load-
rating plates or
applicable load charts shall be kept in the cab of the crane in clear view of
the operator.
Rating plates or load charts for boom cranes shall clearly indicate the safe
load for maximum
and minimum positions of the boom and for at least two intermediate
positions. The
procedures applicable to the operation of the equipment, including
instructions,
recommended operating speeds, special hazard warnings, and operator's
manual, must be
,readily available in the cab at all times for use by the operator. Where rated
capacities are
available in the cab only in electronic form: In the event of a failure which
makes the rated
capacities inaccessible, the operator must immediately cease operations or
follow safe
shut-down procedures until the rated capacities (in electronic or other form)
are available
.
(b) Boom Stops. Devices to prevent the boom from falling over backward
shall be provided
on cranes. Cable boom stops by themselves shall not be considered as
adequate for this
purpose.
(c) Speed Controls and Stops. Hoisting machinery operating on rails, tracks
or trolleys shall
be equipped with speed controls and shall have positive stops or limiting
devices to prevent
overrunning safe limits.
(d) Equipment Modifications. Any modification made to hoisting machinery
shall maintain
at least the same factor of safety as the original designed equipment. A
record of the
differences between the unmodified machinery and the modified machinery
shall be
,maintained by the owner of the machinery and furnished to the Department

the operator at the beginning of each work day and before making any lifts
that are near the
capacity of the rig or as otherwise required by the manufacturer.
(b) Frequent checking by a duly licensed person of lead cables and mast
foot blocks shall
be performed to ensure that cables are not crossed or fouled. Lead line
blocks shall be
checked frequently to ensure that they are properly secured. Leads shall be
so arranged as

covered by Dig Safe
must be notified. The operator must have a Dig Safe permit number, start
date, and time.
(b) Protection of Operator. Where the operator of an excavating machine
may be exposed
to the elements or overhead hazards, a suitable equipped cab for
protection against such
conditions shall be provided.
(c) Operation. Excavating machines shall be operated by a licensee,
temporary permit
holder, or an apprentice licensee under the direct supervision of a duly
licensed operator.
SAE hand signals shall be used with excavating machinery. No person
except the operating
crew or apprentice licensee operating under the direct supervision of a duly
licensed operator
shall be permitted on an excavating machine while it is in operation.
No person other than
the pitman and excavating crew shall be permitted to stand within the full
