<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)AcknowledgmentThe Department ofEnergy (<strong>DOE</strong>) acknowledges the many organizations whose documents providedimportant source material for the st<strong>and</strong>ard. They include:American Society ofMechanical EngineersANSI B30.2, "Overhead <strong>and</strong> Gantry Cranes (Top Running Bridge, Multiple Girder)"ANSI B30.5, "Crawler, Locomotive, <strong>and</strong> Truck Cranes"ANSI B30.9, "Slings"ANSI B30.10, "Hooks"ANSI B30.16, "Overhead Hoists (Underhung)"ANSI B56.1, "Low Lift <strong>and</strong> High Lift Trucks"ANSI MHll.4, "Forks <strong>and</strong> Fork Carriers for Powered Industrial Fork Lift Trucks"Construction Safety Association (CSA) ofOntario"The <strong>Rigging</strong> H<strong>and</strong>book"Society ofAutomotive Engineers, Inc. (SAB)SAB 11028, "Mobile Crane Working Area Defmitions"Permission to reprint specific figures <strong>and</strong> illustrations was obtained from CSA <strong>and</strong> SAB.Applicable sections of29 CFR 1910, "Occupational Safety <strong>and</strong> Health <strong>St<strong>and</strong>ard</strong>s for General Industry," <strong>and</strong>29 CFR 1926, "Occupational Safety <strong>and</strong> Health Regulations for Construction," have been paraphrased orreproduced verbatim throughout. The contributions of<strong>DOE</strong>'s <strong>Hoisting</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Rigging</strong> Committee, which hasmet semi-annually since 1980, is also recognized. Representing many <strong>DOE</strong> sites, this group has providedadvice <strong>and</strong> clarification ofthe codes <strong>and</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ards that form the underlying basis for this document Withouttheir time <strong>and</strong> talent, which has been provided gratuitously, there would be no st<strong>and</strong>ard.Other significant contributors include the two editors, Ingeborg Westfall <strong>and</strong> Marshall Henrie, whoseconsiderable efforts resulted in several ofthe substantive improvements described in the History <strong>and</strong>Background section, <strong>and</strong> whose changes regarding text, format, <strong>and</strong> spelling have improved the st<strong>and</strong>ard towhat we believe is the equivalent ofdesktop-publishing quality <strong>and</strong> in doing so increased its usefulness to thehoisting <strong>and</strong> rigging community. The Department is also greatly indebted to Kay Johnson, now retired, who,during his 10-year tenure as program coordinator, perhaps more than any other person, was responsible fordeveloping the st<strong>and</strong>ard into the truly invaluable document that it is today.The st<strong>and</strong>ard is a safety, not a design, document intended for use by safety professionals <strong>and</strong> managers. Inkeeping with this philosophy, only those portions ofst<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> regulations dealing with safety,particularly those deemed most relevant to <strong>DOE</strong> operations, have been included. While it is convenient tohave focused, indepth hoisting <strong>and</strong> rigging safety information concentrated into one document, thesignificance ofthe above source material is acknowledged, <strong>and</strong> readers are strongly encouraged to revieweach ofthem so as to have a full description ofthe subject area covered.In the past, <strong>DOE</strong> issued <strong>and</strong> disseminated the <strong>Hoisting</strong> <strong>and</strong><strong>Rigging</strong> <strong>St<strong>and</strong>ard</strong> using controlled distributionlist. Beginning with this edition, uncontrolled distribution is available through the <strong>DOE</strong> Office ofScientific<strong>and</strong> Technical Information, P.O. Box 62, Oak Ridge, TN 37831, telephone 423-576-8401, to Federalagencies <strong>and</strong> their contractors; <strong>and</strong> the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department ofAcknowledgment-1
