SECTION 11

CONTRACTOR AND OTHER NON-NAVY OWNED WEIGHT HANDLING EQUIPMENT

11.1 Contractor Operated Cranes (and Multi-Purpose Machines, MHE, and Construction Equipment When Used as Cranes to Lift Suspended Loads) and Rigging Equipment.

Non-Navy-owned cranes, multi-purpose machines, MHE, and construction equipment are frequently used on Navy property to lift suspended loads. Rigging equipment may be used with these machines or by itself in contractor weight handling operations. These cranes and equipment can be from a variety of sources and are generally incidental to construction contracts, ship repair contracts, demolition contracts, maintenance and other service contracts, and deliveries of supplies and equipment. Numerous organizations, including tenant activities, ships, supply departments, and FEAD/ROICCs have contracting authority and often the need for cranes is not anticipated when contract documents are written.

The following requirements apply to any contracted work utilizing cranes (and multi-purpose machines, MHE, and construction equipment used to lift loads suspended by rigging gear) and to all rigging equipment used in weight handling operations at a naval activity. These requirements do not apply to shipboard cranes or rigging equipment.

These requirements also do not apply to: commercial truck mounted and articulating boom cranes used solely to deliver material and supplies where the lift consists of moving materials and supplies (not prefabricated components, structural steel, or components of a systems-engineered metal building) from a truck or trailer to the ground; to cranes installed on mechanic’s trucks that are utilized solely in the repair of shore-based equipment; to cranes that enter the activity but are not used for lifting; nor other machines not used to lift loads suspended by rigging equipment. However, WHE accidents shall be reported in accordance with paragraphs 11.1.h and 11.1.i.

Navy activity (i.e., host activity) commanding officers shall promulgate the following minimum requirements to tenants and contracting officers for inclusion in contracts, statements of work, purchase orders, etc.

a. Require the contractor to comply with specific activity regulations pertaining to crane safety and operation (including allowable access routes and ground loading limitations), and to notify the contracting officer, in advance, of any cranes entering the activity or of any multi-purpose machines, MHE, or construction equipment that may be used in a crane-like application to lift suspended loads. Require the contractor to comply with applicable ANSI or ASME standards (e.g., ASME B30.5 for mobile cranes, ASME B30.22 for articulating boom cranes, ASME B30.3 for tower cranes, and ASME B30.8 for floating cranes, ASME B30.9 for slings, ASME B30.16 for overhead hoists, ASME B30.20 for below-the-hook lifting devices, ASME B30.21 for manually lever-operated hoists, ASME B30.26 for rigging hardware, ASME B30.

ANSI/ITSDF B56.6 for rough terrain forklifts, ANSI A10.31 for digger derricks, ANSI A92.2 for aerial lifts/platforms with hoists or “sign trucks”, ASSE A10.22 for personnel hoists). For cranes, machines, and rigging equipment at naval activities in foreign countries, the cranes, machines, and rigging equipment shall comply with the appropriate host nation safety standards. For floating cranes and barge-mounted mobile cranes, require a third party certification from an OSHA accredited

11-1 organization (or a third party certification from a state accredited organization for those states with OSHA approved state plans), a load indicating device, a wind speed indicating device, and a marine type list and trim indicator readable in one-half degree increments. Third party certification is not required for floating cranes and barge-mounted mobile cranes at Navy activities in foreign countries.

b. Require a certificate of compliance from the contractor (appendix P, figure P-1) that the crane (or other machine if used to lift suspended loads) and the rigging equipment meet applicable OSHA and ANSI/ASME regulations (with the contractor citing which OSHA and ANSI/ASME regulations are applicable, e.g., cranes/multi-purpose machines used in cargo transfer shall comply with 29 CFR 1917;

cranes/multi-purpose machines used in construction, demolition, or maintenance shall comply with 29 CFR 1926; cranes/multi-purpose machines used in shipbuilding, ship repair, or shipbreaking shall comply with 29 CFR 1915; aerial lifts/platforms (sign trucks) with hoists shall comply with 29 CFR 1926.453 and ANSI A92.2; personnel hoists shall comply with 29 CFR 1926.552 and ASSE A10.22; slings shall comply with ASME B30.9; rigging hardware shall comply with ASME B30.26). 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) safety devices are enabled and functioning properly, that all personnel working on the naval activity job site 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, and that operators have been trained to not bypass safety devices (e.g., anti-two block devices, LMI’s) during lifting operations. Require that the certifications be available on the crane or in the contractor’s on-site office for rigging operations.

c. For mobile cranes, commercial truck mounted cranes, and articulating boom cranes with OEM rated capacities of greater than 2000 pounds, require that the crane operator be designated as qualified by a source that qualifies crane operators (i.e., a union, a government agency, or an organization that tests and qualifies crane operators). Proof of current qualification shall be provided. 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. Require the contractor to certify (appendix P, figure P-1) that the operator is qualified and trained for the operation of the crane or machine to be used.

e. For multi-purpose machines, MHE, and construction equipment used to lift loads suspended by rigging equipment, require proof of authorization from the machine OEM that the machine is capable of making lifts of loads suspended by rigging equipment. Written approval from a qualified registered professional engineer, after a safety analysis is performed, is allowed in lieu of the OEM’s approval. Require the contractor to demonstrate that the equipment is properly configured to make such lifts and is equipped with a load chart.

11-2

Note: MHE attachments covered by and used in accordance with NAVSEA SW023-AH- WHM-010 have been pre-approved for use with all MHE. These attachments are exempt from the OEM authorization requirement above.

f. Require that 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.

g. Require a critical lift plan for each of the following lifts: lifts over 75 percent of the capacity of the crane, hoist, or other machine (lifts over 50 percent of the capacity of a barge-mounted mobile crane’s hoists) at any radius of lift; lifts involving more than one crane, hoist, or other machine; lifts of personnel (lifts of personnel suspended by rigging equipment from multi-purpose machines, MHE, or construction equipment shall not be permitted); lifts made in the vicinity of overhead power lines (see subparagraph (7); erection of cranes; lifts of submerged or partially submerged objects (see exceptions in paragraph 10.4.1.e); lifts involving binding conditions; lifts of hazardous materials (see exceptions in paragraph 10.4.1.a); and lifts involving non-routine rigging or operation, sensitive equipment, or unusual safety risks.
