B-16 Cranes, Rigging, and Lifting Equipment
1.0 Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this policy is to ensure that all personnel are protected from potential
hazards during lifting operations.
2.0 Policy
2.1 This policy describes the minimum safe work practices that must be followed during
lifting operations.
3.0 Scope
3.1 This policy applies to all Buckeye and Contractor personnel working with and/or
around cranes and lifting equipment.
4.0 Definitions
4.1 Cranes - A machine for lifting and lowering a load and moving it
horizontally, with the hoisting mechanism an integral part of the machine. Must be
capable of lifting more than 2000 lbs.
4.2 Rigging - Devices used to secure a load to the lifting mechanism i.e. slings, chains
and chokers.
4.3 Lift supervisor - the onsite person competent person responsible for the execution of
a critical lift.
4.4 Lifting equipment - any device other than a crane that lift equipment and materials
from one position to another i.e. telehandler boom lifts, excavators.
4.5 Hoist - a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel
around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically or
pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium.
4.6 Must - Is used where a provision is mandatory.
4.7 Shall - Is used where a provision is mandatory.
4.8 Should - Is used where a provision is preferred.
5.0 General
5.1 Crane and Lifting Equipment Safety
5.1.1 Manufacturer’s specifications and limitations applicable to the operation
of all cranes and lifting equipment shall be complied with at all times.
5.1.2 Rated load capacity charts, recommended operating speeds, special hazard
warnings, and other essential information must be conspicuously posted in
all cranes and lifting equipment. Follow them at all times.
Note: Never attempt to lift more than the rated capacity of the equipment or
the attached rigging.

5.1.3 Operators must take signals from only one qualified signal person. A
signal person must be used if the operators view is obstructed, if site
specific safety concerns require it, or if the operator deems it necessary.
In an emergency, however, a STOP signal can be given by anyone.
5.1.4 When using hand signals, only standard hand signals will be used and
acknowledged. See Exhibit A
5.1.5 Fueling must not be performed when equipment is in use.
NOTE: Repairs and maintenance must be performed off-site unless on-
site repairs are authorized by local operations.
5.1.6 Accessible areas within the swing area of the counterweight or equipment
must be barricaded to prevent personnel injury.
5.1.7 Never allow anyone to ride the hook or the load.
5.1.8 A fire extinguisher, rated at least 10 BC, must be at all operator stations or
cabs of equipment. Reference: ASME B30-5-2014 Sec. 5-3.4.9
5.1.9 Locking safety latches are required on all lifting hooks.
5.1.10 At least one tagline must be used on all loads.
5.1.11 Personnel shall keep clear of suspended loads and be aware of pinch
points.
5.1.12 The operator must ensure that loads are not lifted over people, and the path
of travel is clear of hazards and obstructions. The rigger (when there is a
rigger) and lift supervisor share that responsibility.
5.1.13 When equipment is equipped with outriggers, they must be extended fully
to realize the equipment’s full capacity. Pads or cribbing shall be used at
all times and shall be used following the manufacturer’s recommendation
for size and location. Verification of underground utilities, piping, vaults
and previous excavations shall be used when making outrigger pad
placement determinations.
5.1.14 Secure crane and lifting equipment operations during periods of storms
and lightning. Refer to Safety Manual C-22 Severe Weather for additional
guidance. Safe wind speed decisions will be made by the machine operator
utilizing manufacturer’s recommendations and the operator’s experience.
5.1.15 The operator shall never leave the operator seat with a load suspended.
5.1.16 Always enter and exit by facing the equipment and maintaining at least
three points of contact.
5.1.17 Crane operators shall be qualified/licensed/certified to the specific type of
crane being operated.
