Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The maximum rated load of all bridge or
						fixed radius cranes shall be plainly marked on each side of the crane, and if
						the crane has more than one hoisting unit, each hoist shall have marked on it
						or its load block its rated capacity, and this shall be clearly legible from
						the ground or floor.
(b) Each
						variable radius boom-type crane shall be equipped with a boom angle or a boom
						radius indicator and a clearly legible load rating chart in clear view from the
						operator's position.
(1) Cranes having a boom
						exceeding 60 feet in length or a maximum rated capacity exceeding 15 tons shall
						be provided with an approved boom angle indicator which clearly shows the boom
						angle in degrees to the operator at all times. The indicator shall give a clear
						visual warning signal before high or low unsafe boom angles are reached. The
						indicator shall be mounted in the cab, adjustable and under control of the
						operator at all times, and a visual inspection of the indicator shall be made
						each day by the operator to see that it is properly functioning.
(2) Cranes having either a maximum rated boom
						exceeding 200 feet or a maximum rated capacity exceeding 50 tons shall be
						equipped with a load indicating device, a load moment device, or a device that
						prevents an overload condition. Only approved devices as defined in the General
						Industry Safety Orders, Section
						3206 shall be used.
(3) When a load indicating device or
						alternative system is so arranged in the supporting system (crane structure)
						that its failure could cause the load to be dropped, its strength shall not be
						the limiting factor of the supporting system (crane structure).
(4) All load indicating devices shall be
						operative over the full operating radius. Overall accuracy shall be based on
						actual applied load and not on full scale (full capacity) load.
(5) When the device uses the radius as a
						factor in its use or in its operating indications, the indicated radius (which
						may be in feet and/or meters, or degrees of boom angle, depending on the system
						used) shall be a figure which is within the range of a figure no greater than
						110 percent of the actual radius to a figure which is no less than 97 percent
						of the actual (true) radius. A conversion chart shall be provided whenever it
						is necessary to convert between degrees of radius and feet or
						meters.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Cranes of such design that the boom could
						fall over backward shall be equipped with boomstops whenever the main boom is
						rope supported and the crane used for hook, clamshell, magnet, grapple,
						concrete bucket, or service presenting similar risk. The boomstop shall provide
						emergency protection against destructive damage and related hazard by opposing
						any unexpected upward and rearward boom movement beyond the working range. It
						shall not be used purposely as a substitute for normal procedures in stopping a
						boom being raised.
(b) In the case
						of new cranes over 10 tons in capacity purchased after January 1, 1971, the
						required boomstops shall satisfy the following standards and each involved
						employer shall have substantial assurance of this in the form of crane
						manufacturers' warranties, test reports, charts, engineering calculations, etc.
(1) The boomstops shall be strong enough to
						develop the ultimate strength of the boom in bending at the point of attachment
						or contact between boomstop and boom, which point should be located near the
						outer end of the basic inner section of the boom; however, the point must be at
						least 5 feet above the operator's normal seat level when the crane is level and
						the boom vertical.
(2) The ultimate
						bending strength of the boom referred to in (1) shall not be reduced by the
						nature of contact between the boomstop and boom; such points of contact to be
						so located and designed that forces developed by boomstop action on the boom
						will not cause prior local failure of any boom members.
(3) The boomstop shall prevent that portion
						of the boom below the point of boomstop contact from upward and rearward
						movement beyond 90 degrees, or some lesser angle, in reference to the
						horizontal machinery deck.
(4) The
						boomstop shall provide energy absorbing resistance to the upward and rearward
						movement of the boom throughout an angular range of the last 5 degrees of such
						movement as limited in (3).

(a)
						Operators exposed to the hazard of falling material or objects shall be
						protected by a canopy-type guard or cab over their usual operating position on
						the equipment except when such enclosure would interfere with the safe
						operation of the crane or create an additional hazard by excessively
						restricting the operator's vision.
(b) All windows on such equipment shall be
						safety glass, or equivalent, without optical distortion and possess optical
						qualities meeting standards of the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
						Wire glass, or equivalent, shall only be used for those windows through which
						the operator is not required to view the operations. Visibility forward shall
						include a vertical range adequate to cover the boom point at all times. The
						front window may have a section which may be readily removed or held open if
						desired. If the section is of the type held in the open position, it shall be
						secured to prevent closure.
(c)
						Exhaust gas discharge shall be away from the normal position of the operator.
