Procedures and Specific Requirements (5.2)

This section lists H&R procedures and specific requirements. Details are generally found in the exhibit(s) pointed to under the appropriate heading and listed in Section 6, “Exhibits” (Forms & Tools), or in DOE-STD-1090-2004 (see Standards), as indicated.

Equipment

Review of Conformance

The review of conformance process ensures that H&R equipment is in compliance and is registered in the H&R equipment database. For details, see Hoisting and Rigging: Review of Conformance Form [word] [pdf].

If a visual weld inspection is required (per the review of conformance), see Hoisting and Rigging: Visual Structural Weld Inspection Criteria and Form [word] [pdf].

Equipment Procurement and Fabrication

All new and fabricated equipment must comply with manufacturing standards and follow the approval process specified in Hoisting and Rigging: Purchasing Guidelines [pdf].

Inspections

For requirements for initial, pre-use, periodic, and Plate V inspections, see Hoisting and Rigging: Inspection and Maintenance Requirements [pdf].

For detail pertaining to how to conduct initial and periodic inspections, see DOE-STD-1090-2004 (see Standards).

For pre-use inspections, see the appropriate checklist:

• Hoisting and Rigging: Pre-use Inspection Checklist for Floor-operated Cranes [word] [pdf]
• Hoisting and Rigging: Pre-use Inspection Criteria for Below-the Hook Lifting Devices, Slings, and Rigging Hardware and Accessories [pdf]
• Hoisting and Rigging: Pre-use Checklist for Hand-operated Hoists [word] [pdf]
• Hoisting and Rigging: Pre-use Checklist for Electrical or Air Powered Hoists [word] [pdf]

Maintenance, Modification, Repair

For crane maintenance requirements, see Hoisting and Rigging: Inspection and Maintenance Requirements [pdf].

For using a forklift as a hoist, see Hoisting and Rigging: Forklift Attachment Approval Procedure [pdf].

Loads

For guidelines on characterizing a load, see Hoisting and Rigging: Lift Planning and Control for Ordinary Lifts [word] [pdf].

Lifts

Classifying

Lifts are classified by an appointed qualified person according to requirements in DOE-STD-1090-2004.

Planning

Ordinary Lifts

Ordinary lifts must be planned according to the requirements in DOE-STD-1090-2004. See also the lift planning sections in Hoisting and Rigging: Lift Planning and Control Guidelines [pdf].

Ordinary lifts may require a documented lift plan, depending both on specific organizational policy and the first-line supervisor's assessment. A lift plan generally includes the elements in Hoisting and Rigging: Lift Panning and Control for Ordinary Lifts [word] [pdf].

Critical and Pre-engineered Production Lifts

For guidance, see DOE-STD-1090-2004 (see Standards).

Note: As required by DOE-STD-1090-2004, written and approved lift plans are required for all critical lifts. Written, reviewed, and approved procedures are required for pre-engineered production lifts.

Performing

Lifts must be performed in accordance with the lift planning (verbal or written). Good practices for performing a lift are summarized in Hoisting and Rigging: Lift Planning and Control Guidelines [pdf].

Lifting of Personnel

Lift plans that include the lifting of personnel must be approved by the Hoisting and Rigging Citizen Committee prior to the lift. All lifts must be performed in compliance with DOE-STD-1090-2004, Chapter 4.

• DOE-STD-1090-2004, Chapter 4 specifies the operation, design, testing, and inspection requirements for the use of personnel lift platforms or baskets suspended from mobile or overhead cranes.
• Requires that a designated leader be appointed for the entire lifting operation.

Subcontractors

Subcontractor activities at SLAC are regulated as specified in Chapter 42, "Subcontractor Construction Safety", and Chapter 49, "Service Subcontractor Safety", in addition to the H&R-specific requirements in Section 5.1.4 - Subcontractor Requirements.
