Other industry/national/international consensus standards that may be equivalent to ASME are acceptable provided the contractor and activity note equivalent ASME standard. For cranes

(or other machines used to lift suspended loads) and rigging equipment at naval activities in foreign countries, the Contractor shall certify that the crane (or other machine) and the rigging equipment conform to the appropriate host nation safety standards. The Contractor shall also certify that all of its crane (or other machine) operational safety devices (operator aids in ASME documents) are enabled and functioning properly, that all personnel working on the naval activity jobsite have been trained to not stand under or in the fall zone of a suspended load unless specifically allowed by USACE EM 385-1-1 or 29 CFR

1926.1425, and that operators have been trained to not bypass safety devices (e.g., anti-two block devices, Page E-3 Rev. 0

LMI’s) during lifting operations. The Certificate of Compliance shall be posted in a conspicuous location on or in the cab of the crane/vehicle to which it pertains and shall remain posted while the equipment is on

Government property. When a crane, such as truck mounted crane, on Government property is not intended for use, the Contractor shall tag out the crane controls for this equipment.

c. The Contractor shall certify (per NAVFAC P-307, Figure P-1, available on the Navy Crane Center website, https://ncc.navfac.navy.mil) that personnel operating cranes on Government property are qualified and trained to operate the crane to be used, including physical qualifications of the applicable ANSI, ASME, or other appropriate industry/national/international consensus standards (e.g., ASME B30.5 for mobile cranes, ANSI A92.2 for aerial lifts/platforms with hoists or “sign trucks”), are qualified to perform the assigned work, and have passed a practical operating examination for the specific type of crane being operated.

Proof of current qualification shall be provided and be by a source that qualifies crane operators (i.e., a union, a government agency, or an organization that tests and qualifies crane operators). Operators of cranes used in construction at activities under US jurisdiction shall follow the qualification and certification requirements of 29 CFR 1926.1427. For Navy activities in foreign countries, follow host nation requirements as applicable in lieu of the CFR.

d. The Contractor shall certify (per NAVFAC P-307, Figure P-1, available on the Navy Crane Center website, https://ncc.navfac.navy.mil) that signal persons employed in construction work are qualified in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.1428. For Navy activities in foreign countries, follow host nation requirements as applicable in lieu of the CFR.

e. The Contractor shall certify (per NAVFAC P-307, Figure P-1, available on the Navy Crane Center website, https://ncc.navfac.navy.mil) that the riggers are qualified to perform the work by either signing a statement of compliance, providing proof of successful completion of a rigging apprenticeship by a union or other organization providing apprenticeship training, or proof of successful completion of training courses from a recognized source such as a trade union, a government agency, or an organization that tests and qualifies riggers.

f. For multi-purpose machines, MHE, and construction equipment used to lift loads suspended by rigging equipment, proof of authorization from the original equipment manufacturer that the machine is capable of making lifts of loads suspended by rigging equipment shall be provided. Written approval from a registered professional engineer, after a safety analysis is performed, is allowed in lieu of the OEM’s approval. The

Contractor shall demonstrate that the equipment is properly configured to make such lifts and is equipped with a load chart.

g. All hooks used on cranes, hoists, other machines, and rigging gear shall have self-closing latches or the throat opening shall be "moused" (secured with wire, rope, heavy tape, etc.) or otherwise secured to prevent the attached item from coming free of the hook under a slack condition. The following exceptions apply and shall be approved by the Contractor’s technical organization: items where the hook throat is fully obstructed and not available for manual securing; and lifts where securing the hook throat increases the danger to personnel, such as forge shop, dip tank, or underwater work.

h. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer as soon as practical, but not later than four hours, after any WHE accident including lower threshold crane accidents (LTCAs), near miss, or unplanned occurrence

(see definitions in section 7.2). For other than an LTCA, the Contractor shall secure the site and protect evidence until released by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall conduct an investigation to establish the root cause(s) of any WHE accident, near miss, or unplanned occurrence. Except for an LTCA, crane operations shall not proceed until the cause is determined and corrective actions have been implemented to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer. For an LTCA, the evolution may be allowed to continue, with supervisor authorization and correction of the immediate cause. Upon completion of the job or evolution, the contractor shall stop operations and follow normal accident protocol (i.e., investigation to determine causes and required corrective actions).The Contractor shall certify (per NAVFAC P-307, Figure

P-1, available on the Navy Crane Center website, https://ncc.navfac.navy.mil) that the operators, riggers and company officials are aware of the actions required in the event of an accident, near miss, or unplanned

Page E-4 Rev. 0 occurrence as specified in the contract.

i. The Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer a report for any accident, near miss, or unplanned occurrence within 30 days using the appropriate form provided, (per NAVFAC P-307, Figure 12-1, 12-2 or

12-3 available on the Navy Crane Center website, https://ncc.navfac.navy.mil), consisting of a summary of circumstances, an explanation of causes(s), photographs (if available), and corrective actions taken. These notifications and reporting requirements are in addition to those promulgated by OPNAVINST 5100.23 and related command instructions.

j. The Contractor shall provide for Government approval the following additional documentation for contracts involving tower cranes:

(1) Foundation design and requirements.

(2) Installation instructions.

(3) Assembly and disassembly instructions including climbing/jumping instructions if applicable.

(4) Operating manual, limitations, and precautions.

(5) Periodic inspection and maintenance requirements.

For tower cranes at Navy activities in foreign countries, the tower cranes shall comply with the appropriate host nation safety standards and industry consensus safety standards (e.g., EN or ISO standards).

7.2. ACCIDENTS, NEAR MISSES, AND UNPLANNED OCCURRENCES

7.2.1. General. Weight handling accidents, near misses, and unplanned occurrences shall be investigated and reported in accordance with this section. The Contractor shall promptly investigate all suspected accidents commensurate with the seriousness/severity of the event.

7.2.2. Categories. There are two general categories of accidents as defined below. Crane accidents are those that occur during operation of a category 1, 2, or 3 crane. Rigging accidents are those that occur when gear and equipment identified in NAVFAC P-307 Section 14 is used by itself in a weight handling operation, i.e., without category 1 through 3 cranes, or when NAVFAC P-307 Section 14 gear is used with multi-purpose machines, MHE

(e.g., forklifts), and equipment covered by NAVFAC P-300 in a weight handling operation.

7.2.3. Significant Accident. A significant accident is an accident that typically has a greater potential to result in serious injury or substantial property damage. The following accident types are considered significant accidents:

injuries (regardless of severity), overloads, dropped loads, two-blocks, crane derailments, overturned cranes, or contact with overhead electrical power lines

7.2.4. Crane Accidents. For the purpose of this definition, it is assumed there is an "operating envelope" around any crane. The operating envelope consists of any of the following elements:

a. The crane.

b. The operator.

c. The riggers, signal persons, and crane walker.

d. Other personnel involved in the operation (supervisor, mechanic, tagline handler, engineer, etc.).

e. The rigging gear between the hook and the load.

f. The load.

g. The crane’s supporting structure (ground, rail, etc.).

h. The lift procedure.

7.2.4.1. Definition. A crane accident occurs when any of the elements in the crane operating envelope fails to perform correctly during a crane operation (see Appendix A of the NAVFAC P-307), including operation during maintenance or testing, resulting in any of the following:

Page E-5 Rev. 0

a. Personnel injury or death. (Minor injuries that are inherent in any industrial operation, including strains and repetitive motion related injuries, shall be reported by the normal personnel injury reporting process of the activity in lieu of these requirements.) Personnel injuries occurring within the operating envelope not directly related to the weight handling operations shall be reported as unplanned occurrences in addition to the normal personnel injury reporting process of the activity.

b. Material or equipment damage.

c. Dropped load (includes any part of the load or rigging gear and any item lifted with the load or rigging gear).

d. Derailment.

e. Two-blocking.

f. Overload (includes load tests when the nominal test load is exceeded).

g. Collision (avoidable contact between the load, crane, and/or other objects). Avoidable contact is defined as contact that would have been prevented with proper lift planning and execution. Simply briefing that contact will occur is not sufficient.

Notes:

1. Collision accidents (paragraph 7.2.4.1.g) that result in no damage or only superficial cosmetic damage, such as scratched paint, scuffs, or paint transfer that would not normally require repair or replacement are categorized as lower threshold crane accidents (LTCAs). Reporting of LTCAs benefits an activity’s weight handling program through recognition of events at the lowest possible level. Collisions resulting in dents or deformation regardless of whether repairs are required are not considered LTCAs, nor are collisions involving lifts of high value or sensitive equipment/components, molten metals, nuclear materials, or hazardous materials. The LTCA categorization may be used for ordnance lifts only if engineered protection/safety features are present.

2. Items c, d, e, f, and g are considered accidents even though no material damage or injury occurs. For item c

(dropped loads), exceptions include paper signs, tie wraps, and other minor loose material (debris) such as gravel stuck to the bottom of a pallet, that fall off during the lift. These events are not considered dropped loads if there is no potential for injury or damage. These events may be reported as near misses; however, final classification determination is at the discretion of the Navy Crane Center.

3. For a crane overhaul, an accident attributed to equipment failure may also be a reportable deficiency by the using activity per paragraphs 3.2.3 and 14.5.2 of NAVFAC P-307. The contractor shall not discarded the deficient part or component until the activity has discussed the issue with Navy Crane Center per paragraph 3.2.3 of NAVFAC P-

307.

7.2.4.2. Exceptions.

a. A component failure (e.g., motor burnout, gear tooth failure, bearing failure) shall be considered an accident only if damage to the load or another crane component occurs as a result of the failure.

b. An accident involving a mobile crane that is configured for transit is considered an unplanned occurrence and shall be reported in accordance with paragraph 7.5.16

7.2.5. Rigging Accidents. For the purpose of this definition, it is assumed there is an “operating envelope” around any rigging or other NAVFAC P-307 Section 14 equipment operation, and inside the envelope are the following:

a. Rigging gear or miscellaneous equipment identified in NAVFAC P-307, Section 14.

b. The user of the gear or equipment (including operators of multi-purpose machines, MHE, and construction equipment)

c. Other personnel involved in the operation (supervisor, mechanic, tagline handler, etc.).

d. The load.

Page E-6 Rev. 0

e. The gear or equipment’s supporting structure (padeyes, ship’s structure, building structure, etc.).

f. The load’s rigging path.

g. The rigging or lift procedure.

7.2.5.1. Definition. A rigging accident occurs when any of the elements in the operating envelope fails to perform correctly during a rigging operation (see Appendix A of the NAVFAC P-307) resulting in any of the following:

a. Personnel injury or death. (Minor injuries that are inherent in any industrial operation, including strains and repetitive motion related injuries, shall be reported by the normal personnel injury reporting process of the activity in lieu of these requirements.) Personnel injuries occurring within the operating envelope not directly related to the weight handling operations shall be reported as unplanned occurrences in addition to the normal personnel injury reporting process of the activity.

b. Material or equipment damage that requires the damaged item to be repaired because it can no longer perform its intended function. This does not include superficial damage such as scratched paint, minor lagging damage, or normal wear on rigging gear.

c. Dropped load (includes any part of the load or rigging gear and any item lifted with the load or rigging gear).

d. Two-blocking of crane structures and hoists identified in NAVFAC P-307, Section 14.

e. Overload (Includes overload of supporting structures and load tests when the test load tolerance is exceeded).

Notes:

1. Items c, d, and e are considered accidents even though no material damage or injury occurs. For item c (dropped loads), exceptions include paper signs, tie wraps, and other minor loose material (debris) such as gravel stuck to the bottom of a pallet, that fall off during the lift. These events are not considered dropped loads if there is no potential for injury or significant damage. These events may be reported as near misses; however, final classification determination is at the discretion of the Navy Crane Center.

2. An accident attributed to equipment failure may also be a reportable deficiency. See paragraph 14.5.2 of

NAVFAC P-307

7.2.5.2. Exception. A component failure (e.g., motor burnout, gear tooth failure, bearing failure) shall be considered an accident only if damage to the load or another component occurs as a result of the failure. Report applicable deficiencies to Navy Crane Center in accordance with paragraph 14.5.2 of NAVFAC P-307 and as unplanned occurrences (if due to a significant maintenance error) in accordance with paragraph 12.7.3 of NAVFAC P-307.

7.2.6. Action. Upon having an accident or having seen evidence of damage (suspected accident), the crane team, riggers, equipment users, etc., shall stop all operations and notify immediate supervisor(s). If there is impending danger to the equipment or personnel, place the crane and/or load in a safe position prior to notifying supervision.

Ensure the accident scene is secured and undisturbed so as to facilitate the investigation. The supervisor shall review the situation and take any further emergency action, including stopping production work or other operations that could aggravate the situation. The supervisor shall notify management personnel as well as the activity safety office.

The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in accordance with paragraphs 7.1.h and 7.1.i. For LTCAs (see paragraph 7.2.4.1, Note 1), actions taken should allow for personnel to return to work without significant delay. The ongoing evolution (e.g., shore power cable installation, removal of brows, stores loads, assembly of components) may be allowed to continue with supervisor authorization and correction of the immediate cause. Upon completion of the job or evolution, the supervisor(s) shall make proper notification to activity management and the activity safety office.

7.2.7. Near Misses. A near miss is an unplanned event during a weight handling operation or maintenance that did not result in a definable accident but easily had the potential to do so. A near miss is an accident that could have and almost did take place. A near-miss report can be used to learn from lower-level situations so that a more severe event can be averted. By focusing on and learning from near misses, it is possible to reduce the probability of an

Page E-7 Rev. 0 actual accident from occurring. Near-miss reporting provides an opportunity to identify risks and mitigate the potential for an accident, in addition to increasing awareness of those personnel involved in or performing work. It is not intended that a near-miss investigation and report be as thorough as that for a crane or rigging accident;

however, the investigation and report should be commensurate with the significance of the event.

Unplanned Occurrences. An “unplanned occurrence” is an event involving weight handling equipment that does not meet the definition of a crane or rigging accident but results in injury or damage. Examples include, but are not limited to, injury or damage caused by weather, damage to a mobile crane in transit, damage to a parked or stationary crane caused by another moving object (e.g. vehicle, forklift), damage or injury caused by significant maintenance errors (e.g., loss of hazardous energy control, procedural failure, personnel error), and flooding or fire damage.

For each unplanned occurrence, the Contractor shall promptly perform an investigation commensurate with the seriousness/severity of the event similar to paragraph 12.6.2 of NAVFAC P-307 for accidents. For a crane overhaul, an unplanned occurrence or near miss attributed to equipment failure may also be a reportable deficiency by the using activity per paragraphs 3.2.3 and 14.5.2 of NAVFAC P-307. The contractor shall not discarded the deficient part or component until the activity has discussed the issue with Navy Crane Center.

7.2.8. Initial Accident, Near Miss, or Unplanned Occurrence Notification. For accidents, near misses, and unplanned occurrences, notify the Contracting Officer as soon as practical but not later than four hours following the incident. Initial notification shall include the following (as applicable):

a. Name

b. Contact information (name/phone and email)

c. Date and location of the event

d. A brief description of the event

e. Event type (e.g. accident, near miss) and crane type (Navy identification number if known)

f. Description of any injuries or damage associated with the accident

7.2.8.1. Crane/rigging operations shall not resume until the cause is determined and corrective actions have been implemented to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer.

7.2.9. Accident Investigation and Reporting. For each suspected accident, the Contractor shall promptly perform an investigation commensurate with the seriousness/severity of the event. The investigation and report shall include a detailed description of the events, problems identified, contributing factors, root causes, and short and long-term corrective actions. The investigation should identify if there were organizational influences (e.g., production pressure, changes in mission), supervision and/or management issues, any preconditions, or unsafe acts that led to the event. Photographs of the accident scene and material/property damage shall be taken, if possible, and attached to the report.

The Contractor shall prepare a crane and rigging accident report (per NAVFAC P-307, Figure 12-1, available on the

Navy Crane Center website, https://ncc.navfac.navy.mil) and forward a copy to Navy Crane Center within 30 days of the accident. In the absence of an (Memorandum of Understanding/Agreement) MOU/MOA between the involved stakeholders that clearly defines the roles and responsibilities for accident and near miss reporting, the contractor or government activity that is responsible for the weight handling operation at the time of the accident

(for accidents involving a rigger-in-charge (RIC), the activity that assigned the RIC) shall initiate the investigation and submit the accident report. If the crane or rigging gear is owned by another entity, concurrence shall be obtained from the contractor or government entity that owns the equipment prior to submitting to Navy Crane Center. If another entity is responsible for the accident, obtain concurrence from the entity responsible per the root cause of the accident. Concurrence shall also be obtained from the weight handling program manager, if applicable, and for crane accidents occurring during the overhaul of a government owned crane, the certifying official. For contractor accidents, concurrence shall also be obtained from the Contracting Officer or their representative. Forms shall be routed to NCC and marked in accordance with the activity’s security and marking policies if they deem it necessary

Page E-8 Rev. 0 per the details of the incident. All entities shall ensure reports submitted to the Navy Crane Center do not contain

PII. Navy Crane Center will review accident reports and issue lessons learned and other directives as appropriate.

Any request for copies of these reports should be directed to Navy Crane Center.

7.2.10. Reporting of Near Misses and Unplanned Occurrences. Near misses and unplanned occurrences shall be reported using the forms found in NAVFAC P-307 Figures 12-2 and 12-3 (available on the Navy Crane Center website, https://ncc.navfac.navy.mil). These reports shall be submitted in accordance with this section within 30 days of the event. Forms should be routed to and marked in accordance with the activity’s security and marking policies if they deem it necessary per the details of the incident. The Contractor shall ensure reports submitted to the

Navy Crane Center do not contain PII. Near misses and unplanned occurrence reports should not be used to report equipment deficiencies. Reportable equipment deficiencies shall be reported in accordance with paragraph 3.2.3 of

NAVFAC P-307.

8. ACCIDENT PREVENTION PLAN (APP). Prior to performing any work on a Government jobsite, the

Contractor shall provide an Accident Prevention Plan.

Competent person: one who is capable of identify existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to personnel, and who has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them. (Note: the person must be competent with respect to the application in which they are working, i.e., the Competent Person for welding is not necessarily qualified to serve as the Competent Person for jacking operations).

10.2. An Activity Hazard Analysis shall be prepared by a competent person as defined in the paragraph above for all non-routine phases of work and hazardous activities (install/removal, commissioning, inspection, testing, etc.), and for work requiring additional or unusual safety precautions that will be performed under this contract on the

Government jobsite. This Activity Hazard Analysis shall be submitted as part of the APP.

a. Analyses will define the activities being performed and identify the sequences of work, the specific hazards anticipated, and the control measures to be implemented to eliminate or reduce each hazard to an acceptable level.

b. Work shall not begin on a work activity until the hazard analysis for the work activity has been accepted by the Contracting Officer and discussed with all engaged in the activity including the Contractor, Sub-

Contractor(s), crane operator and riggers (if involving a lift), and the Contracting Officer’s on-site representative.

11. CRITICAL LIFT PLAN

11.1. Definition. The following operations are considered critical lifts: lifts of major crane components that require detailed planning or special safety precautions and include lifts of bridge crane structures where there are only a few inches of clearance between the load being lifted and the building roof beams, joists, purlins, and/or elevated building equipment; lifts made with more than one crane or hoist; lifts involving technically difficult rigging arrangement; lifts exceeding 75% of the rated capacity of the crane(s) or hoist (lifts over 50% of the capacity of a barge mounted mobile crane’s hoist) at any radius of lift; lifts of personnel; lifts involving unusual safety risks;

lifts of sensitive equipment; lifts made in the vicinity of overhead power lines; erection of cranes; lifts of submerged or partially submerged objects; lifts involving binding conditions; lifts of hazardous materials; and any lift which the crane operator believes should be considered critical. Specific lifts identified as critical lifts in the technical specification shall also be treated as such. Lifts of personnel suspended by rigging equipment from multi-purpose machines, MHE, and construction equipment are prohibited.

a. Exceptions: The following lifts of submerged or partially submerged objects are not considered critical lifts unless classified as critical due to other constraints: removal of valves, rotors, pipes, etc., from dip tanks for cleaning or coating purposes; lifting boats of known weight from the water if the boats are of open design with bilge compartments accessible for visual inspection, the boats have label plates indicating weights, and the boats have pre-determined lifting points established by the OEM or the activity engineering organization; lifts of objects verified to not contain fluid in pockets and/or voids that is unaccounted for in the weight of the object, not be stuck by suction or adhesion by corrosion, marine growth, excessive surface tension, mud, etc., and clear of obstructions, such as other objects in the water. The following lifts of hazardous materials are not considered critical lifts unless classified as critical due to other constraints:

palletized unit loads of ordnance; and oxygen, acetylene, propane, diesel fuel, and gasoline in cans or tanks properly secured in racks or stands designed for lifting and transporting by crane.

11.2. Critical lifts require additional job planning (a critical lift plan) to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel. A critical lift plan shall be prepared by the Contractor. Critical lift plans shall be developed, reviewed, and signed by all personnel involved in the lift and shall:

a. Specify the exact size and weight of the load to be lifted and all crane and rigging components which add to the weight.

b. Specify the manufacturer's maximum load limits for the entire range of the lift as listed in the load charts.

c. Specify the lift geometry and procedures, including the crane (or other machine) position, the center of gravity of the load, height of the lift, the load radius, and the boom length and angle, for the entire range of

Page E-11 Rev. 0 the lift.

d. For lifts of personnel, demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1926.1431.

e. Include a rigging plan, which shows the lift points and describes rigging procedures and gear requirements.

f. Describe the ground condition and outrigger or crawler track requirements (and, if necessary, the design of mats) needed to achieve a level, stable foundation of sufficient bearing capacity for the lift.

g. For floating cranes or derricks describe the operating base (platform) condition (for mobile cranes mounted on barges) and any potential list. For barge-mounted mobile cranes provide barge stability calculations identifying list and trim based on anticipated loading; and charts based on calculated list and trim. The amount of list and trim shall be within the manufacturer’s requirements.

h. List of environmental conditions under which lift operations are to be stopped.

i. Specify coordination and communication requirements for the lift operation.

j. For tandem or tailing crane lifts, specify the make and model of the cranes, the line, boom, and swing speeds, and the requirements for an equalizer beam.

k. For lifts in the vicinity of overhead power lines (i.e., if any part of the crane or other machine, including the fully extended boom of a telescoping boom crane or machine, or the load could approach the distances noted in

Figure 10-3 of NAVFAC P-307 during a proposed operation), the plan shall demonstrate compliance to 29

CFR 1926.1407-1411. For Navy activities in foreign countries follow host nation requirements as applicable in lieu of the CFR.
