						not be operated with wheels or tracks off the ground or working surface at any
						time unless properly bearing on outriggers or stabilizers. Power actuated jacks
						(outriggers or stabilizers), where used, shall be provided with means to
						prevent loss of support under load.

						without outriggers or stabilizers as given by the certified agent for that
						crane.
(1) Where floats are used they shall be
						securely attached to the outriggers or stabilizers.
(2) Outrigger or stabilizer supports shall:

(a)
						The qualified person (rigger) shall be trained and capable of safely performing
						the rigging operation. All loads shall be rigged by a qualified person (rigger)
						or by a trainee under the direct visual supervision of a qualified person
						(rigger).
(b) Size of Load. A
						crane, derrick, or hoist shall not be loaded beyond the rated capacity, except
						for test purposes. In all operations where the weight of the load being handled
						is unknown and may approach the rated capacity, there shall be a qualified
						person (rigger) assigned to determine the weight of the load, unless the crane
						or derrick is equipped with a load weighing device. The operator shall not make
						any lift under these conditions until informed of such weight by the qualified
						person (rigger) assigned to that operation.
(1) Supplemental requirements for mobile
						cranes and derricks in construction: In all operations where the weight of the
						load being handled is unknown and may approach the rated capacity, the operator
						shall verify that the load is within the rated capacity of the equipment by at
						least one of the following methods:
(A) The
						weight of the load shall be determined from a source recognized by the industry
						(such as the load's manufacturer), or by a calculation method recognized by the
						industry (such as calculating a steel beam from measured dimensions and a known
						per foot weight), or by other equally reliable means. This information shall be
						provided to the operator prior to the lift; or
(B) The operator may begin hoisting the load
						to determine, using a load weighing device, load moment indicator, rated
						capacity indicator, or rated capacity limiter, if it exceeds 75 percent of the
						maximum rated capacity at the longest radius that will be used during the lift
						operation. If it does, the operator shall not proceed with the lift until the
						operator verifies the weight of the load in accordance with subsection
						(b)(1)(A).

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The employer of the signal person shall
						ensure that each signal person meets the qualification requirements [subsection
						(c)] prior to giving any signals. This requirement shall be met by using either
						Option (1) or Option (2) of this section.
(1)
						Option (1) -- Third party qualified evaluator. The signal person has
						documentation from a third party qualified evaluator [see Section
						4885, Qualified Evaluator (third
						party)], showing that the signal person meets the qualification requirements
						[see subsection (c)].
(2) Option
						(2) -- Employer's qualified evaluator. The employer's qualified evaluator [see
						Section 4885, Qualified Evaluator (not a
						third party)], assesses the individual and determines that the individual meets
						the qualification requirements [see subsection (c)] and provides documentation
						of that determination. An assessment by an employer's qualified evaluator under
						this option is not portable -- other employers are not permitted to use it to
						meet the requirements of this section.
(3) The employer shall make the documentation
						for whichever option is used available while the signal person is employed by
						the employer. The documentation shall specify each type of signaling (e.g. hand
						signals, radio signals, etc.) for which the signal person meets the
						requirements of subsection (c).
