Current through August 31, 2023
01.
General
				Characteristics
. Wire rope comes in many grades and dimensions, and
				every rope has its own characteristics with regard to strength and resistance
				to crushing and fatigue. A larger rope will outlast a smaller rope of the same
				materials and construction, used in the same conditions, because wear occurs
				over a larger surface. Similarly, a stronger rope will outlast a weaker rope,
				because it performs at a lower percentage of its breaking strength, with
				reduced stress. (3-31-22)
02.
Wire Rope Terms
. Common grades of wire rope include extra improved
				plow steel (EIPS) and swaged powerflex, among others. The following terms are
				commonly used for wire rope: (3-31-22)
a.
				Abrasion Resistance. Ability of outer wires to resist wear. Abrasion resistance
				is greater with larger wires. (3-31-22)
b. Core. The foundation of a wire rope which
				is made of materials that will provide support for the strands under normal
				bending and loading conditions. A fiber core (FC) can be natural or synthetic.
				If the core is steel, it can be a wire strand core (WSC) or an independent wire
				rope core (IWRC). (3-31-22)
c.
				Crushing Resistance. Ability of the rope to resist being deformed. A rope with
				an independent wire core is more resistant to crushing than one with a fiber
				core. (3-31-22)
d. Die-form Line.
				Made from strands that are first compacted by drawing them through a drawing
				die to reduce their diameter. The finished rope is then swaged or further
				compressed. (3-31-22)
e. Fatigue
				Resistance. Ability of the rope to withstand repeated bending without failure
				(the ease of bending a rope in an arc is called its "bendability"). Fatigue
				resistance is greater with more wires. (3-31-22)
f. Strength. Referred to as breaking
				strength, usually measured as a force in pounds or tons. The breaking strength
				is not the same as the load limit, which is calculated as a fraction of the
				breaking strength to ensure safety. (3-31-22)
g. Swaged Line. Manufactured by running a
				nominal-sized line through a drawing die to flatten the outer crown and thus
				reduce the rope diameter. This compacted rope allows for increased drum
				capacity and increased line strength. (3-31-22)
Idaho Administrative Code › Title IDAPA 24 - Occupational and Professional Licenses, Division of › Rule 24.39.80 - IDAHO MINIMUM SAFETY STANDARDS AND PRACTICES FOR LOGGING › Subchapter J - SKIDDING AND YARDING › Section 24.39.80.455 - TREE CLIMBING

Current through August 31, 2023
Loggers are often required to climb considerable heights to
				  top trees or hang rigging on lift trees. All workers who may be exposed to fall
				  hazards shall be specifically trained and equipped with fall protection.
				  (3-31-22)
01.
Rescue
				Plan
. Before rigging any tree, the employer must develop rescue
				procedures, which includes identifying appropriate equipment, personnel, and
				training to perform a rescue in case a climber is injured or incapacitated in
				the tree. A second set of climbing gear and a person with climbing experience
				shall be readily available. Equipment and procedures that will support an
				injured climber's chest and pelvis in an upright position during a rescue shall
				be used. When an injured climber is wearing only a climbing belt, provisions
				must be made to prevent the climber from slipping through it; this may include
				using a rope to create an upper-body support system. Consideration should be
				made to replacing climbing belts with a climbing harness. (3-31-22)
02.
Before Leaving the Ground
.
				Employers shall check climbing equipment and immediately remove defective
				equipment from service. Personnel shall ensure that hardware and safety
				equipment is securely fastened before placing weight on the lanyard or
				life-support rope. All climbing knots shall be tied, dressed, and set prior to
				ascending. All personnel shall follow the recommendations of the manufacturer
				of the cordage with respect to the use of splices. (3-31-22)
03.
Climbing Equipment
.
				(3-31-22)
a. A climbing harness provides both
				pelvic and upper-body support, and may be a one (1)-piece, fullbody harness, or
				any two (2)-piece design that meets industry standards. (3-31-22)
b. Climbing and life-support lines shall be
				conspicuous and easily identifiable. (3-31-22)
c. All lines and webbing used for life
				support shall have a minimum breaking strength of five thousand four hundred
				(5,400) pounds and may only be used for climbing. (3-31-22)
d. When a cutting tool is used in a tree, the
				climbing rope (lanyard) shall be a high-quality steel safety chain of
				three-sixteenths (3/16) inch size or larger, or a wire-core rope.
				(3-31-22)
e. A life-support rope
				evidencing excessive wear or damage or that has been subjected to a shock load
				shall be removed from climbing service. (3-31-22)

Current through August 31, 2023
01.
Scope
. (3-31-22)
a. These rules are part of the accident
				prevention program of the state of Idaho. This program is dedicated to the
				safety and well-being of all workers in Idaho's logging industry. It has been
				established according to the processes prescribed by law. (3-31-22)
b. These rules contain the primary safety
				rules for the logging industry. However, other Idaho Safety Standards
				promulgated and adopted by the Industrial Commission shall be applicable to
				this industry where not inconsistent with the provisions herein, or where any
				particular activity which is being carried on is not specifically covered or
				regulated herein. (3-31-22)
Idaho Administrative Code › Title IDAPA 24 - Occupational and Professional Licenses, Division of › Rule 24.39.80 - IDAHO MINIMUM SAFETY STANDARDS AND PRACTICES FOR LOGGING › Subchapter N - RECOMMENDED SAFETY PROGRAM › Section 24.39.80.652 - FIRE AND SAFETY POLICY

Current through August 31, 2023
01.
Elements
. The basic elements or management responsibility for fire
				and safety policy are enumerated in this section. (3-31-22)
02.
Management Leadership
. The
				establishment of the safety policy should be made clear to all levels of
				supervision, purchasing, engineering, industrial and construction; and
				communicated to all employees that top management has approved the operation's
				safety program. (3-31-22)
03.
Planning
. The program should be based on the following: accounting
				record of safety cost, accident recording system, accident investigation
				recommendations, operation inspection recommended corrections, employee
				suggestions, and job analysis to determine the work hazards. The hazard
				appraisal can be summarized as follows: mechanical and physical hazards;
				environmental hazards; and work procedure and practices. (3-31-22)
04.
Management Discharge of
				Duty
. (3-31-22)
a. If management is to
				discharge its duty in proper directing of the fire and safety program, it must
				organized a definite planned program of continuous supervision and leadership
				by all facets of the management organization. The very fact that safety must be
				woven into all operations and activities should not require extra managerial
				time beyond the ordinary to operate a business successfully, i.e., if the
				entire management team will assume their safety responsibility.
				(3-31-22)
b. The first task of
				management is to determine the operational hazards. Once these are ascertained
				and appraised, suitable corrective action can be initiated. If the working unit
				is operating, the following specific activities should be carried out to find
				the hazards. These are: job inspection; job analysis; accident investigation
				(near accident, non-disabling injuries) to determine necessary remedial action
				to prevent reoccurrence of the accident. (3-31-22)
