<strong>DOE</strong>-<strong>STD</strong>-I090-<strong>96</strong> (Rev-I)manner with no sudden movements ofit or thecrane. the lifting or lowering speed shall notexceed 100 ftlmin (30 m1min).12. The total weight ofthe lifted load(including personnel) shall not exceed 50 percentofthe crane rating under the planned conditions ofuse.13. Suspended personnel platforms shallbe used only for personnel, their tools, <strong>and</strong>sufficient materials to do their work:. They shouldnot be used for transporting bulkmaterials.14. Personnel shall keep all parts oftheirbodies inside the suspended personnel platformduring raising, lowering, <strong>and</strong> positioning to avoidpinch points. Personnel shall not st<strong>and</strong> on or workfrom the top rail, midraU, or toeboard of thesuspended personnel platform.15. Ifthe personnel platform cannot bel<strong>and</strong>ed, it should be tied to the structure beforepersonnel get offor on.16. Personnel platforms should not beused in winds greater than 15 mph (25 kmIh),electric storms, snow, ice, sleet, or other adverseweather conditions that could affect the safety ofpersonnel.17. After the personnel platform ispositioned, all brakes <strong>and</strong> locks on the lift craneshall be set before personnel perfonn any work:.18. Cranes <strong>and</strong> derricks withvariable-angle booms shall be equipped with aboom-angle indicator that is readily visible to theoperator.19. Cranes with telescoping booms shallbe equipped with a device to indicate clearly to theoperator, at all times, the boom's extended length,or an accurate determination ofthe load radius tobe used during the lift shall be made prior tohoisting personnel.20. A positive-acting device shall be usedthat prevents contact between the load block oroverhaul ball <strong>and</strong> the boom tip (anti-two-blockingdevice), or a system shall be used that deactivatesthe hoisting action before damage occurs in theevent ofa two-blocking situation (two-blockdamage-prevention feature).21. The crane shall be uniformly levelwithin 1 percent oflevel grade <strong>and</strong> located on firmfooting.22. Cranes shall not travel while personnelare on a personnel platform or in the basket.23. Cranes with outriggers shall have theoutriggers fully extended <strong>and</strong> blocked.15.5.3 Forklift Trucksa. Know the rated capacity ofthe forklift <strong>and</strong>always operate within that capacity. Since theload rating for forklifts maybe based on stabilityor hydraulic/structural competence, the ratedcapacity shall not be exceeded in operationalapplication. Signs oftipping shall never be usedto determine ifa load is within the forklift'scapacity.b. Before operating electric-powered machines,check location ofthe batteryplug for quickdisconnection in case of a short circuit.c. Ensure that battery recharging <strong>and</strong>maintenance takes place in designated areas wheresmoking, sparks, or open flames are prohibited.Wear eye protection, rubber glOVes, <strong>and</strong> rubberaprons. Whenever battery maintenance isperformed, any area ofthe body affected bycontact with battery electrolyte shall be flushedwith water immediately <strong>and</strong> all acid spills must becleaned up at once.d. Ensure that fueling ofinternal-combustionpoweredforklift trucks takes place in designatedareas. The vehicle engine must be turned off <strong>and</strong>smoking, sparks, or open flames shall beprohibited.e. H<strong>and</strong>ling liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fuelpresents a unique hazard. Therefore, to avoidinjury while refueling with LPG fuel, preciselyfollow the refueling procedure in the operator'smanual for the vehicle.f. The operation ofinternalcombustion-powered forklift trucks in corrfmedspaces shall be prohibited unless specialprecautions are followed to preclude the buildupofcarbon monoxide gas above prescribed levels.g. Only qualified operators shall be permittedto operate forklift trucks. No one shall operate theequipment other than the person to whom it isassigned.15-33Chapter 15Construction <strong>Hoisting</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Rigging</strong>Equipment Requirements
