<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)instructed before assuming responsibility forusing it.14.4.8 Operationa. Only the following qualified personnel shalloperate lifting devices:1. Designated persons.2. Trainees under the direct supervisionof a designated person.3. Maintenance <strong>and</strong> test personnel, whenit is necessary in the performance oftheir duties.4. Inspectors oflifting devices.b. The following shall apply to personnel whouse close-proximity-operated magnets:1. Place any attached load on the floor orground <strong>and</strong>, after use, properly store the liftingdevice before leaving it.2. Before they are used during a shift,test all controls. Ifany do not operate properly,adjust or repair them before operations begin.3. Do not load the lifting device in excessofits rated capacity or h<strong>and</strong>le any load for whichit is not designed.4. Apply the lifting device to the load inaccordance with established procedures.5. Before lifting, ensure thatlifting-device ropes or chains are not kinked <strong>and</strong>that multiple-part lines are not interwoven.6. Ensure that the load is correctlydistributed for the lifting device being used.7. Ensure that the temperature of the loaddoes not exceed the maximum allowable limits ofthe lifting device.8. Do not use the lifting device for sidepulls or sliding the load unless specificallyauthorized by a qualified person.9. Keep the lifting magnet face <strong>and</strong> themagnet contact area Clean.10. Ensure that the load to be lifted iswithin the magnet's rated capacity or applicationcapacity <strong>and</strong> lifting equipment rated capacity.11. Observe all meters <strong>and</strong> indicators onthe lifting magnet to confIrm proper operationprior to making a lift.12. Before starting the lift, lift the load afew inches to establish that it is securely attachedto the magnet.13. Do not use a lifting magnet that istagged "Danger-Do Not Operate" or otherwisedesignated as nonfunctional.14. Do not remove "Danger-Do NotOperate" tags from magnetic lifting deviceswithout the approval ofthe person who placedthem or an authorized person.15. Store the lifting device in a dry, insidelocation when not in use.14.4.8.1 External-PoweredElectromagnetsBefore raising the load more than 2 in. (50 nun),ensure that any adjustable input control isswitched to the "FUlLPOWER" or "FUlL ON"position <strong>and</strong> remains in this position until the loadis removed from the magnet.14.4.8.2 Battery-OperatedElectromagnetsa. Before lifting, confIrm that the deviceindicating correct current flow remains stable for aminimum of5 sec.b. For a lift ofextended duration, observe thedevice indicating correct current flow every 5 min.c. Open the ventilation lid before charging thebattery.d. Before raising the load more than 2 in. (50nun), ensure that any adjustable input control isswitched to the "FUlLPOWER" or "FUlL ON"position <strong>and</strong> remains in this position until the loadis removed.14.4.8.3 Electrically ControlledPermanent MagnetsBefore raising the load, check the internal controlfunction indicator, where applicable, to confIrmproper operation ofthe lifting magnet.14.4.8.4 <strong>Manual</strong>ly Controlled PermanentMagnetsBefore raising the load, confIrm that the controlh<strong>and</strong>le is in the "LIFT" or "ON" position <strong>and</strong> thecontrol h<strong>and</strong>le latch is operating.Chapter 14Below-tke-Hook Lifting Devices 14-16
