Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Before being
			 taken into use, hoisting machines, fixed gear aboard vessels accessory thereto,
			 and loose gear and wire rope used in connection therewith, must be tested and
			 examined and the safe working load thereof certified in the manner set forth in
			 WAC 296-304-170 through
			 296-304-17023.
(2) Replacement or additional loose gear and
			 wire rope obtained from time to time must also be tested and examined in the
			 manner set forth in WAC
			 296-304-16003(1).
			 However, the replacement of a component part of an article of loose gear, such
			 as a sheave, pin, or bushing does not require a new test certificate so long as
			 the new component at least equals in all particulars the part
			 replaced.
(3) In the case of
			 untested gear which has been in use, an initial test in conformance with WAC
			 296-304-16003(1)
			 must be carried out: Provided, however, That existing standing rigging and wire
			 rope will not be required to be tested but must be thoroughly examined to
			 ascertain its fitness for continued use in conformance with the requirements of
			 WAC 296-304-16023 and
			 296-304-16025.
(4) In the case of important alterations or
			 renewals of the machinery and gear and also after repairs due to failure of or
			 damage to other than loose components, a test as required in WAC
			 296-304-16003(1)
			 must be carried out.
(5) If the
			 operation in which cargo gear is engaged never utilizes more than a fraction of
			 the safe working load rating, the owner may, at his option, have said gear
			 certificated for, and limited in operation to, a lesser maximum safe working
			 load: Provided, however, That the gear concerned is physically capable of
			 operation at the original load rating and the load reduction is not for the
			 purpose of avoiding correction of any deficiency.
(6) In no case must safe working loads be
			 increased beyond the original design limitations unless such increase is based
			 on engineering calculations by or acceptable to the accredited certification
			 agency, and all necessary structural changes are carried out.

(1)
			 Pursuant to WAC
			 296-304-18003, any derrick or

			 be made on the test certificate. When, in the opinion of the accredited person,
			 it is unsafe to conduct a proof test with an existing deformity, the derrick or

			 proof test in accordance with WAC
			 296-304-170 through

(3) Any derrick, other
			 fixed installation, or associated permanent fitting, which is injured or
			 deformed by a proof load must be replaced or repaired and another proof load

(2) Except for eye splices in the ends of
			 wires, each wire rope used in hoisting or lowering, in guying derricks, or as a
			 topping lift, preventer or pendant, must consist of one continuous piece
			 without knot or splice.
(3) Eyes in
			 the ends of wire rope cargo falls must not be formed by knots and, in single
			 part falls, must not be formed by wire rope clips.
(4) The ends of falls must be secured to the
			 winch drums by clamps, U-bolts, shackles or some other equally strong method.
			 Fiber rope fastenings must not be used.
(5) Wire rope must not be used for the
			 vessel's cargo gear if in any length of eight diameters, the total number of
			 visible broken wires exceeds 10 percent of the total number of wires, or if the
			 rope shows other signs of excessive wear, corrosion, or defect. Particular
			 attention must be given to the condition of those sections of wire rope
			 adjacent to any terminal connections, those sections exposed to abnormal wear,

(1) Except as noted in WAC

			 cranes and other hoisting machines, together with gear accessory thereto, must
			 be tested with a proof load which must exceed the safe working load as follows:
Safe working load
Proof load
Up to 20 tons .............
25 percent in excess.
20-50 tons ................
5 tons in excess.
Over 50 tons ..............
10 percent in excess.
(2) The
			 proof load must be lifted and swung as far as possible in both directions. If
			 the jib or boom of the crane has a variable radius, it must be tested with
			 proof loads, as specified in WAC
			 296-304-17005(1),
			 at the maximum and minimum radius. In the case of hydraulic cranes, when owing
			 to the limitation of pressure it is impossible to lift a load 25 percent in
			 excess of the safe working load, it will be sufficient to lift the greatest
			 possible load.
(3) Initial proof
			 tests of new cranes must be made only with a dead load as specified in WAC
			 296-304-17005(2).
(4) Initial tests of cranes which have been
			 in service, quadrennial tests, or tests associated with replacements or
			 renewals, may be made with spring or hydraulic balances where dead loads are
			 not reasonably available, under the following conditions:
(a) Tests must be conducted at maximum,
			 minimum, and intermediate radius points, as well as such points in the arc of
			 rotation as meet with the approval of the accredited person.
(b) An additional test must be conducted with
			 partial load and must include all functions and movements contemplated in the
			 use of the crane.
