Course Overview
The Crane and Derrick Safety course offered by the American Institute of Safety Professionals provides comprehensive regulations on the safe use of construction power-operated construction power equipment. It covers equipment that can raise, lower, and horizontally move suspended loads while ensuring that operations are performed safely to help prevent injuries and accidents on construction sites. The Standard covers mobile, crawler, tower, and articulating cranes; derricks; floating and locomotive cranes; industrial cranes; dedicated pile drivers; overhead and gantry cranes; and multi-purpose machines configured for lifting operations. It also covers the safe use of lifting attachments like hooks, magnets, grapples, buckets, personnel platforms, drills, and other tools. However, some equipment and some activities are not covered. Excluded items are earth-moving equipment like excavators and backhoes, automotive wreckers, aerial lifts, forklifts not configured to lift suspended loads, and manual hoists like come-alongs and chain falls. Other exempted specialized equipment includes dedicated drilling rigs, gin poles for communication tower erection, and equipment for marine, tree trimming, or vehicle recovery operations. Also excluded are articulated truck cranes that deliver materials to the ground or on structures and use a fork or cradle with overload prevention systems.
Overall, the goal of §1926.1400 is reducing risks associated with crane and derrick operations by specifying the types of covered equipment, determining safe practices, maintaining appropriate oversight, and ensuring the safety of the workers and the people, structures, and places around them during the lifting and rigging operations in the construction sector.
