Read the first 6 OSHA Crane Regulations 29 CFR 1 flashcards as text

  1. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1416, how frequently must the crane operator perform a visual inspection of the equipment before beginning work?

    Answer: Before each shift

    29 CFR 1926.1416(d)(1) requires the operator to perform a visual inspection before each shift to identify any visible defects or conditions that could create a hazard. This ensures equipment integrity is confirmed at the start of every work period.

  2. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1431, what percentage of a personnel platform's rated capacity must be used as the proof test load before hoisting personnel?

    Answer: 125%

    29 CFR 1926.1431(f)(1) requires proof testing at 125% of the personnel platform's rated capacity using test weights prior to hoisting personnel. This overload test verifies that sufficient safety margin exists before workers are placed in the platform.

  3. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1415, which safety device is required on ALL equipment covered by Subpart CC to prevent the hook block from contacting the boom tip?

    Answer: Anti-two-block device

    29 CFR 1926.1415(a)(1) mandates an anti-two-block device on all covered equipment. Two-blocking occurs when the hook block contacts the boom tip or sheave, which can cause the load line to part and drop the load. This device prevents that condition.

  4. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1404, who is required to direct crane assembly and disassembly (A/D) operations?

    Answer: A qualified person serving as A/D director

    29 CFR 1926.1404(a) requires that assembly and disassembly operations be directed by a qualified person acting as the A/D director. A qualified person has the specialized knowledge and training to recognize and address hazards specific to assembly and disassembly.

  5. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1412, how frequently must a comprehensive inspection of covered crane equipment be conducted by a qualified person?

    Answer: Every 12 months

    29 CFR 1926.1412(f)(1) requires a comprehensive inspection at intervals not exceeding 12 months. This inspection covers all components not examined in more frequent inspections and must be performed by a qualified person, with findings documented.

  6. Under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1417, what action must a crane operator take if continuing a lift would exceed the equipment's rated capacity?

    Answer: Stop the operation and refuse to proceed until the concern is resolved

    29 CFR 1926.1417(b) gives operators the authority and responsibility to stop operations when a safety concern arises, including when the rated capacity would be exceeded. Operators must not proceed until the issue is corrected — exceeding rated capacity is never permissible.
