(i) Articulating/knuckle-boom truck cranes that deliver material to a construction sitewhen used to transfer materials from the truck crane to the ground, without arrangingthe materials in a particular sequence for hoisting.(ii) Articulating/knuckle-boom truck cranes that deliver material to a constructionsite when the crane is used to transfer building supply sheet goods or buildingsupply packaged materials from the truck crane onto a structure, using a fork/cradleat the end of the boom, but only when the truck crane is equipped with a properlyfunctioning automatic overload prevention device. Such sheet goods or packagedmaterials include, but are not limited to: Sheets of sheet rock, sheets of plywood, bagsof cement, sheets or packages of roofing shingles, and rolls of roofing felt.(iii) This exclusion does not apply when:(A) The articulating/knuckle-boom crane is used to hold, support orstabilize the material to facilitate a construction activity, such as holdingmaterial in place while it is attached to the structure;(B) The material being handled by the articulating/knuckle-boom crane is aprefabricated component. Such prefabricated components include, but arenot limited to: Precast concrete members or panels, roof trusses (wooden,cold-formed metal, steel, or other material), prefabricated building sectionssuch as, but not limited to: Floor panels, wall panels, roof panels, roofstructures, or similar items;(C) The material being handled by the crane is a structural steel member(for example, steel joists, beams, columns, steel decking (bundled orunbundled) or a component of a systems-engineered metal building (asdefined in 29 CFR 1926 subpart R).(D) The activity is not specifically excluded under § 1400(c)(17)(i) and (ii).(d) All sections of this subpart CC apply to the equipment covered by this standard unless specifiedotherwise.(e) The duties of controlling entities under this subpart include, but are not limited to, the dutiesspecified in § 1926.1402(c), § 1926.1402(e) and § 1926.1424(b).(f) Where provisions of this standard direct an operator, crewmember, or other employee to take certainactions, the employer must establish, effectively communicate to the relevant persons, and enforce,work rules to ensure compliance with such provisions.(g) For work covered by subpart V of this part, compliance with 29 CFR § 1910.269(p) is deemedcompliance with §§ 1926.1407 through 1926.1411.(h) Section 1926.1402 does not apply to cranes designed for use on railroad tracks, when used onrailroad tracks that are part of the general railroad system of transportation that is regulated pursuantto the Federal Railroad Administration under 49 CFR part 213, and that comply with applicableFederal Railroad Administration requirements. See § 1926.1402(f).§ 1926.1401 DefinitionsA/D director (Assembly/Disassembly director) means an individual who meets this subpart’srequirements for an A/D director, irrespective of the person’s formal job title or whether the person isnon-management or management personnel.Articulating crane means a crane whose boom consists of a series of folding, pin connected structuralmembers, typically manipulated to extend or retract by power from hydraulic cylinders.Assembly/Disassembly means the assembly and/or disassembly of equipment covered under thisstandard. With regard to tower cranes, ‘‘erecting and climbing’’ replaces the term ‘‘assembly,’’ and‘‘dismantling’’ replaces the term ‘‘disassembly.’’ Regardless of whether the crane is initially erectedto its full height or is climbed in stages, the process of increasing the height of the crane is an erectionprocess.4
Assist crane means a crane used to assist in assembling or disassembling a crane.Attachments means any device that expands the range of tasks that can be done by the equipment.Examples include, but are not limited to: An auger, drill, magnet, pile-driver, and boom-attachedpersonnel platform.Audible signal means a signal made by a distinct sound or series of sounds. Examples include, but arenot limited to, sounds made by a bell, horn, or whistle.Blocking (also referred to as ‘‘cribbing’’) is wood or other material used to support equipment or acomponent and distribute loads to the ground. It is typically used to supportlattice boom sections duringassembly/disassembly and under outrigger and stabilizer floats.Boatswain’s chair means a single point adjustable suspension scaffold consisting of a seat or sling(which may be incorporated into a full body harness) designed to support one employee in a sittingposition.Bogie means ‘‘travel bogie,’’ which is defined below.Boom (equipment other than tower crane) means an inclined spar, strut, or other long structural memberwhich supports the upper hoisting tackle on a crane or derrick. Typically, the length and vertical angleof the boom can be varied to achieve increased height or height and reach when lifting loads. Boomscan usually be grouped into general categories of hydraulically extendible, cantilevered type, latticedsection, cable supported type or articulating type.Boom (tower cranes): On tower cranes, if the ‘‘boom’’ (i.e., principal horizontal structure) is fixed, it isreferred to as a jib; if it is moveable up and down, it is referred to as a boom.Boom angle indicator means a device which measures the angle of the boom relative to horizontal.Boom hoist limiting device includes boom hoist disengaging device, boom hoist shut-off, boomhoist disconnect, boom hoist hydraulic relief, boom hoist kick-outs, automatic boom stop device,or derricking limiter. This type of device disengages boom hoist power when the boom reaches apredetermined operating angle. It also sets brakes or closes valves to prevent the boom from loweringafter power is disengaged.Boom length indicator indicates the length of the permanent part of the boom (such as ruled markingson the boom) or, as in some computerized systems, the length of the boom with extensions/attachments.Boom stop includes boom stops, (belly straps with struts/standoff), telescoping boom stops, attachmentboom stops, and backstops. These devices restrict the boom from moving above a certain maximumangle and toppling over backward.Boom suspension system means a system of pendants, running ropes, sheaves, and other hardwarewhich supports the boom tip and controls the boom angle.Builder means the builder/constructor of equipment.Center of gravity: The center of gravity of any object is the point in the object around which its weightis evenly distributed. If you could put a support under that point, you could balance the object on thesupport.Certified welder means a welder who meets nationally recognized certification requirements applicableto the task being performed.Climbing means the process in which a tower crane is raised to a new working height, either by addingadditional tower sections to the top of the crane (top climbing), or by a system in which the entire craneis raised inside the structure (inside climbing).5
Come-a-long means a mechanical device typically consisting of a chain or cable attached at each endthat is used to facilitate movement of materials through leverage.Competent person means one who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in thesurroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, andwho has authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them.Controlled load lowering means lowering a load by means of a mechanical hoist drum devicethat allows a hoisted load to be lowered with maximum control using the gear train or hydrauliccomponents of the hoist mechanism. Controlled load lowering requires the use of the hoist drive motor,rather than the load hoist brake, to lower the load.Controlling entity means an employer that is a prime contractor, general contractor, constructionmanager or any other legal entity which has the overall responsibility for the construction of theproject—its planning, quality and completion.Counterweight means a weight used to supplement the weight of equipment in providing stability forlifting loads by counterbalancing those loads.Crane/derrick includes all equipment covered by this subpart.Crawler crane means equipment that has a type of base mounting which incorporates a continuous beltof sprocket driven track.Crossover points means locations on a wire rope which is spooled on a drum where one layer of ropeclimbs up on and crosses over the previous layer. This takes place at each flange of the drum as the ropeis spooled onto the drum, reaches the flange, and begins to wrap back in the opposite direction.Dedicated channel means a line of communication assigned by the employer who controls thecommunication system to only one signal person a
