The document summarizes new OSHA requirements for construction crane safety that took effect in 2010. It aims to prevent crane accidents that killed an average of 78 people per year from 2003-2005. Key changes include mandatory crane operator certification, fall protection requirements, inspection procedures, ground condition assessments, and safety protocols when working near power lines. Employers have four years to comply with the new standards to improve safety for the 200,000 construction crane operators in the industry.
Equipment contact with power lines remains one of the top concerns of crane and rigging professionals throughout the world. What is the impact of line voltages and working distances? This presentation identifys work zones, where to mark zones and how to prevent equipment and personnel encroachment in these areas. Mr. Smith also discusses the use of insulated links, non-conductive rigging, required signage and training requirements plus provide key elements of a power line safety system for mobile cranes on a jobsite. If your company is located outside the U.S. and not governed by OSHA rules, this presentation will showcase industry best practices which can be employed no matter where your jobsite is located.

Nimonik Expert EHS Series: Rack Safety and ComplianceNimonik
Nimonik knows that pallet racks, although crucial to the logistics of you operations, are often overlooked at your facilities. A collapsing rack can not only kill staff, it can damage inventory, cause delays and reduce profitability, hence the importance of properly inspecting and maintaining your racks frequently.
In this presentation, Rack Net-Works’ Principle Engineer and Lead Rack Inspector, Tony Mulholland and Brian Rusciolelli, cover a range of elements pertaining to the inspection of racks.
This webinar covers various types of racking, the standards ensuring rack safety, the process of inspection and how to ensure that racks are not overloaded.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Why?
• Crane accidents killed an average of 78
people per year between 2003 and 2005
• The new standard is located at
http://www.federalregister.gov/articles/201
0/08/09/2010-17818/cranes-and-derricks-
in-construction#h-15
• OSHA expects the final standard to
prevent 22 fatalities and 175 non-fatal
injuries each year.
3. When?
• Intention to develop the rule in July 2002.
• Used negotiated rulemaking committee
consisting both industry and labor.
• The committee completed its work in 2004.
• Released – July 28, 2010
• Published – August 9, 2010
• Effective – November 8, 2010
• Phased in over four years – August 9, 2014
– Certification of operators phased in over four years.
No grandfathering of those past certification.
4. Key Hazards
• Four main causes of worker death and
injury:
• Electrocution,
• Crushed by parts of the equipment,
• Struck-by the equipment/load, and
• Falls. (See Subpart M 1926.500-503)
5. Largest Impact
• Mandatory crane operator certification -
qualification
• 200,000 construction crane operators in
the industry
• OSHA allowing four years to meet the
certification requirement.
• It will take time for certifying organizations
to gain enough capacity to cover so many
operators.
6. Other Significant Requirements
• Use of synthetic slings in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions during
assembly/disassembly work;
• Assessment of ground conditions;
• Procedures for working in the vicinity of
power lines.
• Pre-erection inspection of tower crane
parts;
7. OSHA – State - Local
• Employers must comply with local and
state operator licensing requirements
which meet the minimum criteria specified
in § 1926.1427.
• Some state had existing Crane standards
that exceeded the old standard. In state
plan states, please see the rules for that
state.
8. Who Pays?
• Employers must pay for certification or
qualification of their currently uncertified or
unqualified operators. 1926.1427 (a)(4)
• Reasonable that employees, who have already
been sufficiently trained in crane operation and
may have many years' experience, certainly
need no more than a short preparation to
successfully pass the crane operator certification
tests. – FR Preamble
9. Crane or Not Crane?
• Functional description
– Can hoist,
– Lower and
– Horizontally move a
suspended load
• Forklifts configured to hoist
and lower (by means of a
winch OR hook) and
horizontally move a suspended
load are covered
• Backhoes are excluded even if
used like a crane….1926.1400
(c)(2)
Forklift with attached
boom. 1926.1400 (c)(8)
See 1926.1441 if using
equipment with a rated
hoisting/lifting capacity of 2,000
pounds or less

• Paragraph (b) requires the employer to consult
with the utility owner/operator before deciding
that it infeasible to deenergize and ground the
lines or relocate them.
• Employer can establish this distance by either
having the utility owner/operator determine
the minimum clearance distance that must be
maintained or by having a registered
professional engineer who is a qualified
person with respect to electrical transmission
and distribution determine the minimum
clearance distance that must be maintained.
