Include in the submission all crane and operator certificates and details, as well as the expected height of the boom and the GPS coordinates of the expected crane position during use. Contractor's operator must remain with the crane during the spot check. Rigging gear must comply with OSHA, ASME B30.9 Standards safety standards.

Comply with the LHE manufacturer's specifications and limitations for erection and operation of cranes and hoists used in support of the work. Perform erection under the supervision of a designated person (as defined in ASME B30.5). Perform all testing in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended procedures.

Comply with ASME B30.5 for mobile and locomotive cranes, ASME B30.22 for articulating boom cranes, ASME B30.3 for construction tower cranes, ASME B30.8 for floating cranes and floating derricks, ASME B30.9 for slings, ASME B30.20 for below the hook lifting devices and ASME B30.26 for rigging hardware.

Under no circumstance must a Contractor make a lift at or above 90 percent of the cranes rated capacity in any configuration.

When operating in the vicinity of overhead transmission lines, operators and riggers must be alert to this special hazard and follow the requirements of EM 385-1-1 Section 11, and ASME B30.5 or ASME B30.22 as applicable.

Do not use crane suspended personnel work platforms (baskets) unless the Contractor proves that using any other access to the work location would provide a greater hazard to the workers or is impossible.

Do not lift personnel with a line hoist or friction crane. Additionally, submit a specific

AHA for this work to the Contracting Officer. Ensure the activity and AHA are thoroughly reviewed by all involved personnel.

Inspect, maintain, and recharge portable fire extinguishers as specified in NFPA 10, Standard for Portable Fire Extinguishers.

All employees must keep clear of loads about to be lifted and of suspended loads. Use cribbing when performing lifts on outriggers.

The crane hook/block must be positioned directly over the load. Side loading of the crane is prohibited.

A physical barricade must be positioned to prevent personnel access where accessible areas of the LHE's rotating superstructure poses a risk of striking, pinching or crushing personnel.

Maintain inspection records in accordance by EM 385-1-1, Section 16.D, including shift, monthly, and annual inspections, the signature of the person performing the inspection, and the serial number or other identifier of the LHE that was inspected. Records must be available for review by the Contracting Officer.

Maintain written reports of operational and load testing in accordance with EM 385-1-

1, Section 16.F, listing the load test procedures used along with any repairs or alterations performed on the LHE. Reports must be available for review by the Contracting Officer.

Certify that all LHE operators have been trained in proper use of all safety devices (e.g.

anti-two block devices).

Take steps to ensure that wind speed does not contribute to loss of control of the load during lifting operations. At wind speeds greater than 9 m/s 20 mph, the operator, rigger and lift supervisor must cease all crane operations, evaluate conditions and determine if the lift may proceed. Base the determination to proceed or not on wind calculations per the manufacturer and a reduction in LHE rated capacity if applicable. Include this maximum wind speed determination as part of the activity hazard analysis plan for that operation.

The fencing must be secured properly to ensure no unauthorized vehicular access, pedestrian, or animal movements occur within area.

ii. Temporary fencing required in unpaved areas may use temporary posts directly in the ground (example: type H15) or fence-post bases; fencing shall be secured properly to ensure no unauthorized vehicular access, pedestrian, or animal movements occur within area.
