Be able to distinguish colors,regardless ofposition, ifcolor differentialsrequired for operation.5. Have adequate hearing, with orwithout a hearing aid, for a specific operation.6. Have physical strength, coordination,<strong>and</strong> sufficient reaction speed to meet the dem<strong>and</strong>sofequipment operation.7. Show no evidence ofphysical defectsor ofemotional instability that couldbe a hazardto themselves or others, or which, in the opinionof the examiner, could interfere with their safeperformance; such evidence may be sufficient .cause for disqualification. In these cases, medIcaljudgments <strong>and</strong> test may be required.8. Show no evidence ofbeing subject toseizures or loss ofphysical control; such evidenceshall be sufficient reason for disqualification.Medical examinations may be required todetermine these conditions.9. Have normal depth perception, field ofvision, manual dexterity, coordination, <strong>and</strong> notendencies to dizziness or similar potentiallyhazardous characteristics.10. Have no detectable or known diseaseor physical restriction that would render themincapable of safely operating equipment. Whereany deficiency of an upper or lower extremityexist, the acceptability ofa c<strong>and</strong>idate shall be thedecision ofthe supervisor, after consulting withthe designated physician.11. Shall successfully pass with a negativeresult, a substance abuse test. The level oftestingwill be detennined by the st<strong>and</strong>ard practice for theindustry where the crane is employed <strong>and</strong> this testshall be conf'rrmed by a recognized laboratoryservice.12. Operator physical examinations shallbe required every three years or more frequently ifsupervision deems itnecessary.b. Prior to allowing mobile crane operations at<strong>DOE</strong> installations, the construction manager shallimplement a program or ensure that theconstruction contractor has an acceptable programto evaluate crane operator qualifications. Thisprogram shall include written testing to evaluateoperator knowledge <strong>and</strong> performance .("h<strong>and</strong>s-on") testing to evaluate operator skills.These tests shall include, but not be limited toapplicable elements ofthe following:1. Pre-use crane inspection.2. The crane's specifications, operator'smanual, charts (e.g., load charts, work areacharts), instrumentation, controls, operator aids,<strong>and</strong> operating characteristics.3. Operating procedures underemergency conditions.4. Set-up, shut-down <strong>and</strong> parking ofthecrane.5. Crane attachments (e.g., jibs, boomextensions, heavy lift equipment).6. Configurations <strong>and</strong> loading effects onthe crane.7. <strong>St<strong>and</strong>ard</strong>s, rules <strong>and</strong> regulations (e.g.,h<strong>and</strong> signals, distances for working aroundelectrical power lines).8. <strong>Rigging</strong> practices.9. Personnel lifting procedures.NOTE: The means ofdetermining operatorqualifications shall be included in the contractdocuments. Contract documents shall also includerequirements for maintenance oftesting records.15-7Chapter 15Construction <strong>Hoisting</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Rigging</strong>Equipment Requirements
