4 Investigation and Reporting of Crane and Rigging Gear Accidents as specified by Section 12 of reference (a):

4.1 General. In addition to the investigation and reporting requirements of OPNAVINST 5102.1, activities shall investigate and report weight handling accidents, near misses, and unplanned occurrences in accordance with this section. Such investigations are a significant element of an accident prevention program. Activities shall promptly investigate all suspected accidents commensurate with the seriousness/severity of the event. The investigation process provides an opportunity for activities to identify causal information and to develop meaningful corrective actions to prevent similar events from recurring. An additional method of identifying process deficiencies that could lead to an accident is by way of an effective monitor program (see section 2 of reference (a)). This section focuses on the reporting of weight handling accidents or near accidents and distinguishes the differences between accidents, near misses, and unplanned occurrences.

4.2 Categories. There are two general categories of accidents as defined below. Crane accidents are those that occur during operation of a category 1, 2, 3, or 4 crane. Rigging accidents are those that occur when gear and equipment identified in section 14 of reference (a) is used by itself in a weight handling operation, i.e., without category 1 through 4 cranes, or when 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. In addition, accidents that occur during the operation of entertainment hoists (see section 13 of reference (a)) shall be reported as rigging accidents.

4.3 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, or contact with overhead electrical power lines. Other types of accidents that result in OPNAV Class A, B, C, or D reporting thresholds for material property damage are also considered significant accidents.

4.4 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 (exception: a crane being operated in transit as defined in appendix A).

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.

4.4.1 Definition. A crane accident occurs when any of the elements in the crane operating envelope fails to perform correctly during a crane operation, including operation during maintenance or testing, 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.)

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.

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

4.4.2 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 (cat 1 or 4) that is configured for transit is considered an unplanned occurrence and shall be reported in accordance with paragraph 4.7.3.

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

a. Rigging gear or miscellaneous equipment identified in section 14 of reference (a).

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.

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

f. The load’s rigging path.

g. The rigging or lift procedure.

4.5.1 Definition. A rigging accident occurs when any of the elements in the operating envelope fails to perform correctly during a rigging operation 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.)

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 cranes and powered hoists identified in section 14 of reference (a).

e. Overload (Includes load tests when the test load tolerance is exceeded).

Note: Items c, d, and e are considered accidents even though no material damage or injury occurs.

4.5.2 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.

4.6 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.

4.6.1 Initial Accident Notification. For accidents involving a fatality, inpatient hospitalization, overturned crane, collapsed boom, or any other major damage to the crane, load, or adjacent property, notify the Navy Crane Center by e-mail (m_nfsh_ncc_accident@navy.mil) as soon as practical but not later than eight hours following the accident. Notification for all other accidents shall be made as soon as practical but no later than three working days after the accident. Initial notification shall include the following:

a. Name and UIC of the activity responsible for the accident

b. Contact information (name/phone and email)

c. Date and location of the accident

d. A brief description of the accident

e. Accident type and crane type (Navy identification number if known)

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

4.6.2 Accident Investigation and Reporting. For each suspected accident, activities shall promptly perform an investigation. Activities shall prepare a crane and rigging accident report, Enclosure 3, figure 12-1 (available on the Navy Crane Center web site), and forward a copy to the Navy Crane Center (Code

06) within 30 days of the accident. The activity that is responsible for the weight handling operation at the time of the accident (for accidents involving a 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 activity, obtain concurrence from the activity that owns the equipment prior to submitting to the Navy Crane Center. If another activity is responsible for the accident, obtain concurrence from the activity responsible. Concurrence shall also be obtained from the weight handling program manager, if applicable, and for crane accidents, the certifying official. Photographs of the accident scene and material/property damage shall be taken, if possible, and attached to the report. The 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 the reporting activity. Rigging accident reports shall be kept on file for seven years.

4.7 Near Misses and Unplanned Occurrences.

4.7.1 Near Misses. A near miss is an unplanned event during a weight handling operation that did not result in a definable accident noted above but easily had the potential to do so. Only a break in the chain of events prevented an accident. Simply put, a near miss is an accident that almost took place. The difference between a near miss and an accident (serious or otherwise) is often a fraction of an inch or a split second of time. A near-miss report is used to learn from situations where an accident “almost” happened so that the real event can be averted. By focusing on and learning from minor events, it is possible to reduce the probability of an actual accident from occurring. Near-miss reporting provides an opportunity to identify risks and mitigate the potential for an accident. It is a means for correcting issues that did not result in loss or injury, and it increases 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.

4.7.2 Unplanned Occurrences. An “unplanned occurrence” describes an event that does not meet the definition of a crane or rigging accident but results in injury, or damage to a crane, crane component, or related equipment due to an event not directly related to a weight handling operation. Examples include, but are not limited to, injury or damage caused by weather, damage to a parked or stationary crane caused by another moving object (e.g. vehicle, forklift), significant maintenance errors, and flooding or fire damage.

4.7.3 Reporting of Near Misses and Unplanned Occurrences. Near misses and unplanned occurrences that do not fall under the crane and rigging accident definitions shall be reported using Enclosure 3, figure 12-2 (available on the Navy Crane Center website). These reports shall be submitted in accordance with this section within 30 days of the event.

YES NO N/A

29 Does rigging gear meet applicable ASME or host nation standards (e.g., ASME

B30.9 for slings, B30.10 for hooks, B30.26 for rigging hardware such as shackles, safety hoist rings, and eyebolts, B30.20 for below the hook lifting devices)?

30 Was the rigging gear inspected prior to use?

31 Is sling protection used to protect slings (especially synthetic slings) and equipment from damage due to abrasion and sharp corners and edges?

32 Is the rigging gear used in accordance with its working load limit? Is the working load limit marked on the rigging gear?

33 Are positive latching devices (or “mousing”) used on crane and rigging hooks?

34 If a mobile crane is used on a barge, are all rules of 29 CFR 1926.1437(construction) being followed?

35 If a mobile crane is used on a barge are the outriggers/stabilizers blocked or are the crawlers traveling in a defined space as allowed by 29 CFR 1926.1437 (construction)?

36 For floating cranes, are rules of 29 CFR 1915 (ship repair) or 29 CFR

1926.1437 (construction) being followed?

37 If a multi-purpose machine, forklift, or construction equipment is being used, is there proof from the OEM (or qualified PE) that the machine is approved for suspended load lifting and is there a load chart?

38 If a personnel lift is being performed with a crane or base mounted hoist, are all requirements of NAVFAC P-307, paragraph 11.1.g (5) for a crane or 11.1.m for a base mounted hoist being followed?
