FAQs

This checklist specifically addresses the ANSI/ASME B30.5 standard, which covers safety requirements for mobile and locomotive cranes.

Mobile and locomotive crane safety audits should be conducted daily before operations begin, after any configuration changes, and at regular intervals as specified by the manufacturer and ANSI/ASME B30.5 standard.

The checklist covers areas such as crane structural components, hydraulic systems, wire ropes and reeving, load charts, operator controls, safety devices, outrigger deployment, ground conditions, and operator qualifications.

A qualified person, typically a certified crane inspector or competent operator familiar with ANSI/ASME B30.5 standards, should be responsible for conducting the crane safety audit.

By ensuring proper crane setup, operation, and maintenance, this checklist significantly reduces the risk of crane accidents, improves lifting operation efficiency, and helps maintain a safe working environment for all personnel on the project site.
