This standard does not apply to trans- portation of loads or maintenance or repair of pow= ‘ered or manual hoists, cranes, winches, or other hoisting equipment. Commentary: While the qualified rigger Is required to know the basic principles and limits of Iiting and hoisting equipment, he or she is expect- ed to rely on qualified operators, mechanics, sup- pliers, engineers, managers, and others involved for valid information, and for competent perfor mance by these other persons in their respective roles. For instance, a rigger may be responsible to determine loads and the farthest radius of a pick, but then must rely on a crane operator to know the safe crane capacity forthe configuration and setup of that crane, This principle also applies to opera- tors of hoists, winches, helicopters, etc. Similarly, if rigger determines that a 5-ton picking beam is needed, he or she can rely on a manager, an engi- eer who provides specifications, or a supplier who provides a product for the rigger’s use. 1.5 Mandatory and Advisory Rules Mandatory rules of this standard are characterized by the word “shall” If a rule is of an advisory nature, itis indicated by the word “should,” or is stated as a recommendation or commentary. The ‘Appendixes are advisory. 1.6 Equivalent ‘The word "equivalent" in this standard shall mean alternative materials, designs, or features that will provide an equal degree of strength and safety. 2 Definitions 241 ANSI: American National Standards Institute 22 attachment: A device other than conven- tional forks or load backrest extension, mounted permanently or removably on the elevating mech- anism of a fork truck for handling the load. Popular types are fork extension clamps, rotating devices, side shifters, load stabilizers, rams, and booms. 23 cable: A term loosely applied to wire ropes, wire strands, manila ropes, and electrical conductors. A clip: A fiting used to clamp two parts of rope (also known as wire rope clip, wire rope lamp). 28 competent person: One who is capable Of identifying existing and precictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions that are ‘unsanitary, hazardous, of dangerous to employ- ‘28s, and who has authorization to take prompt cor- rective measures to eliminate them. 2.6 crane: Amachine used for lifting and low- ering a load vertically and moving it horizontally :ANS! A10.42-2000 that has a non-manual hoisting mechanism as an integral part. 2.7 enforcing authority: The entity with gen- eral oversight of the operation with day-to-day contol of the site and with authority to enforce safoty on the site. This may be a controling con- tractor, project constructor, owner, a governmental cr private agency that is conducting construction ‘or maintenance, or the employer in the absence of ‘one of these, In the absence of a law specifically incorporating this standard or a section of this standard, or a ‘specific interpretation from the enforcement or ‘consultative branch of a State or Federal safety and health enforcement agency, the task of deter- mining applicability and exceptions to this stan- dard rests with the enforcing authority as defined above, 2.8 forklift truck: A high-Iftsel-loading truck equipped with load carriage and forks for trans- porting and tiring loads. 2.9 _ hoist: A device that applies a force for lit- ing or "load movement" lowering, pulling, pushing ‘a load and to apply or release tension. 2.40 lifts Either the maximum safe vertical dis- tance through which a hook or other load attach- ‘ment device can travel or the hoisting of a load. 2.11 person-in-charge (PIC): The manager or other responsible person, See also competent person. 2.42 publie: Person or property not a part of the rigging operation. 2.13 qualified person: One who, by posses- sion of a recognized degree, certificate, or profes- sional standing or who, by extensive knowledge, training, and experience, has successfully demon- strated an ability and competence to solve prob- lems relating to the subject matter and work. 2.14 qualified rigger: One whose compe- tence in this skill has been demonstrated by expe- rience satisfactory to the appointed competent person. The term "tigger" or “qualified rigger" in this standard refers to the function performed, and in no way relates to the worker's classification in any union or bargaining unit. 248 rated capacity: The maximum load that a piece of hoisting equipment is designed to carry. ‘Aiso, the maximum load that an industrial truck or a sling, hook, shackle, or other rigging tackle is designed to carry. At the option of the user, a rated 2 capacity can be assigned that is less than the design-rated capacity. 2.16 rigging: The hardware or equipment Used to safely attach a load to aifting device. The art or process of safely attaching a load to a hoist by means of adequately rated and properly applied slings or related hardware. 2.17 safe working load: Load that a piece of rigging equipment can carry safely based on a designed capacity reduced by a factor of safety. 2.48 shackle: A type of clevis normally used for iting . 2.19 shall: A word indicating that an action is mandatory. 2.20 should: A word indicating a recommend- ‘ed action, the advisability of which depends on the facts in each situation. 2.21 slings: Wire ropes, chains, synthetic web, and metal mesh made into forms, with or without fittings, for handling loads. 2.22 softeners: Protection materials used to prevent damage to slings or loads where slings pass around sharp comers of objects being hoist ed. 2.23 strand clamp: A fitting used to form a loop at the end of a length of strand; consists of two grooved plates and bolts. 2.24 A rope used to assist in control TRL ARE, 2.26 turnbuckle: A device attached to wire rope for making limited adjustments in length.

Upon request of a quailfied rigger, the competent person shall ensure that the qualified rigger is provided information, procedures, and equipment neces- ‘sary to move the loads without damage or injury to the site, equipment, or personnel 3.1.2 Qualified riggers shal report deficiencies in methods, equipment, information, and training to a competent person, 3.2 Critical Operations A qualified rigger, supervisor or a competent per- ‘son may determine that an operation is critical, which may require job-specific procedures. (See ‘Appendix B.) When determining what constitutes a critical operation, items for consideration might include the following (3.2.1 = 3.2.12). 3.2.1 Hoisting, Lifting, and Winching Capacity ‘When any power or manual mechanical device Used for hoisting, liting or winching is used within 15 percent of its rated capacity (85 percent of its maximum rated loadcapacity).. 9.22 Mechanical and Electrical Hazards When rigging operations take piace in close prox- imity to electrical or mechanical energy sources that are not locked out and de-energized, and where danger to the riggers or other personnel involved in the rigging activity exists. 3.23 Hazards of Moving Equipment When rigging operations take place in close prox- |mity to moving machinery, vehicles, or equipment, if danger to the riggers or other personnel involved in the rigging activity exists. 3.2.4 Hazardous Materials When rigging activities occur in environments where the presence or possible release of haz- ardous materials endanger the riggers or other personnel, 3.25 Confined Spaces When rigging operations take place in @ confined ‘space. For purposes of this standard, "confined or enclosed space" means any space having a limit- ‘ed means of egress, is subject to the accumulation of toxic or flammable contaminants, or has an oxy- en-deficient atmosphere. Confined or enclosed spaces may include, but are not limited to, storage tanks, process vessels, bins, boilers, ventilation or exhaust ducts, sewers, underground ultity vaults, ANSI A10.42-2000 tunnels, pipelines, and open-top spaces more than 4 feet in depth such as pits, tubs, vaults, vessels, and cofferdams. 3.2.6 Lifting Over Personnel When loads must be moved over personnel. 3.2.7 Publi¢ Protection When rigging operations take place in close prox: imity to the public, where danger to the riggers or ‘other personnel involved in the rigging activity exists from foreseeable activity of the public, or ‘where a danger to the public exists from foreses- able consequences of the rigging operation. 3.2.8 Multiple Hoists (Other Than Cranes) ‘Movement involving multiple hoists (see also 3.5, and 3.8). 9.2.9 Ground and Support Considerations ‘When cranes, hoists, or loads are set on or moved ‘over ground that is not compacted or where under- ground structures, vaults, trenches, pipelines, pits, or other structures or voids exist or may exist. 3.2.10 Temporary Supports When loads are set on or moved across temporary structures or supports, or when cranes or hoists are set up on or are supported by temporary struc- tures or supports during the rigging process, 3.2.11 Floor/Structure Loading When loads are moved across floors, raots, decks, or other portions of a permanent structure, riggers should give consideration to design loading capac- ity, If necessary, this shall be determined by a qualified person, 3.2.42 Weather Conditions When weather conditions such as, but not limited to, high winds, storms, lightning, fog, ice or snow may affect the operation and endanger the riggers. ‘or other persons. 3.3 Critical Operations: 3.3.1 Multiple Loads When more than one independent load is hoisted at once on one primary holst line, the operation should be deemed a critical operation. The prac: tice commonly called "Christmas tree-ing" is included. 8.3.2 Lifting of Personnel ‘Whenever personnel are lifted, the operation shall be deemed criticalANSI A10.42-2000, 9.3.3 Helicopter Lifts When a helicopter is involved in a lift, the operation shall be deemed critical, 3.3.4 Multiple Crane Lifts ‘Any single lift Involving two or more cranes, regardless of any cranes’ capacity, shall be deemed a critical operation. 3.4 — Requirement for a Q igger Rigging in critical operations, as defined in this standard, shall be performed under the direction of a qualified rigger. 4 Operational Requirements 41 General Requirements ‘When an operation is determined to be critical, a competent person shall be appointed who has ‘overall responsibilty for the orticl rigging opera- tion, Commentary: The employer or enforcing author- ity may require various levels of review due to the complexity of tasks. The Person In Charge (PIC), Competent Person, qualified rigger, and employer representative may be the same person. 42 — Signaling nly designated signalers shall give signals to an operator (see Appendix A). However, the opera- tor shall obey an emergency STOP signal at all times, no matter who gives the signal. 43 Suspended Loads Routes for suspended loads shall be pre-planned to ensure that exposure to other persons is mini- ‘mized and that no employee is required to work directly below a suspended load, except for ‘employees engaged in the initial connection of steel or employees necessary for the hooking or tunhooking of the load, When working under sus~ pended loads, the following criteria shall be met a) Materials being hoisted shall be rigged to prevent unintentional displacement; : Resear get Q ” ‘the hook. ©) Paragraph b) above does not apply when hook latches are purposely held open as allowed in limited stee! erection operations. 51 General Personnel who are designated to operate rigging tools and equipment or perform work covered by ‘The employer or other entity responsible for super- vising the lifting, hoisting, or movement of a load shall assess the knowledge, skills, and abilities of individuals designated as qualified riggers. 5.2 Qualifications 5.21 Communication Ee 5.2.2 Calculation Skills Have sulficient skis to calculate loads, toad weights, safe capacities, and apply other safe rig- ‘ging principles and procedures. 523 Skills Demonstrate the ability to utilize rigging materials, and principles. 5.2.4 General Requirements ‘A qualified rigger shall be capable of safely per- {forming rigging operations. 5.3 Training 5.3.1 General Riggers shall be trained on the materials, meth- ods, equipment, techniques, communication, and ther items as is necessary for safe performance of their specific tasks. 5.3.1.1 Without limiting the generality of para~ ‘graph 5.3.1, tasks for which qualified riggers may be trained on include (but are not limited to} preparing a load for safe movement; assisting in movement or directing the movement of the load; safe utlzation of various hoisting and load move- ment equipment; or selecting components used to assist cranes, hoists, or other equipment to ‘achieve mechanical advantage for the purpose of moving loads. A rigger may also assist in the setup, erection, movement, placement, and dis- ‘mantiing of cranes and other equipment. oNO 5.3.1.2 If previous training is limited or didn't pre~ pare a rigger fora task, the rigger shall not accept the task and management (the Person In Charge or Competent Person) shall not assign the task Until the rigger is suitably trained. 5.3.1.3 Additional information from manufacturers ‘of the rigging and hoisting equipment that is used in rigging procedures should be used for training ‘a3 well, as available and as applicable to the spe Citic rigging situations. 5.3.1.4 New or different equipment, methods, sit- tuations, techniques, procedures, standards, mate- tials, and unique loads may require special or updated training during planning stages prior to rigging or moving the loads). 6.3.2 Qualified Riggers shail have completed training in the safe application, use, and limitations of the following, if applicable to the person's spe- cific tasks: ‘Anchor Points and deadmen ‘Synthetic ropes for rigging Wire rope Chains Reeving Scattolds Spreader bars and equalizing beams ‘Synthetic slings Lifting points Dotlies Totes ‘Tuggers and winches (manual and power) Bars and levers ‘Come-alongs Fiber rope for rigging jacks, jacking systems, ‘and rams Forkitts and attachments ‘Wire rope stings Rigging hitches/knots Hooks and similar attachment devices Shackles Eye bolts Tumnbuckles ANSI A10.42-2000 Links and rings Plate clamps Softeners, Cable dogs/arins Chain hoists End fittings including swages, sockets, splices, connectors, clips, and clamps 5.3.3 When traning on items listed in 5.9.2, the following shall be considered for each, as applicable. ‘Common configurations \aspections\testing requirements ‘Tagging and removal from service Identification of repair and modifications Maintenance requitements Equipment capacity computations Effects of angles or indirect pulling 5.3.4 Training on the following should be con- ducted when riggers are expected to use these devices: Load indicator devices (including scales, ‘dynamometors, load cells, and onboard computers) Vacuum lifting/hokding devices Magnet lifting/hoiding devices (including remote-operated ones) 5.8.5 Load Preparation Qualified riggers shall have completed training on. the following, if applicable fo the person's specific tasks: The importance of andor use of capacity ‘charts ‘Mechanical advantages Center of gravity Did ratios Vectors and angles Boom angles and load radius 5.3.6 Planning Activities Prior To and During Load Movement Qualified riggers shall have completed training on the following, if applicable to the person's specific tasks:‘ANSI A10.42-2000 Blind hoists Fall protection Positioning the load ‘Traveling withthe load Work in close quarters Hand signals ‘Communications (voice, rac, etc.) Procedures for emergencies or unexpected changes, Procedures for iting personnel Load dynamics Load weight estimation/determination Boom angle and foad radius 83,7 Training on This Standard Qualified riggers shall be trained to understand the ccontents of this standard.
