1926.1424(a) Swing Radius Hazards

OSHA 1926 Construction > CC Cranes & Derricks in Construction > 1926.1424 Work Area Control > 1926.1424(a) Swing Radius Hazards
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

1926.1424(a)(1)

The requirements in paragraph (a)(2) of this section apply where there are accessible areas in which the equipment's rotating superstructure (whether permanently or temporarily mounted) poses a reasonably foreseeable risk of:

1926.1424(a)(1)(i) Striking and Injuring an Employee; or

1926.1424(a)(1)(ii)

Pinching/crushing an employee against another part of the equipment or another object.

1926.1424(a)(2)

To prevent employees from entering these hazard areas, the employer must:

1926.1424(a)(2)(i)

Train each employee assigned to work on or near the equipment ("authorized personnel") in how to recognize struck-by and pinch/crush hazard areas posed by the rotating superstructure.

1926.1424(a)(2)(ii)

Erect and maintain control lines, warning lines, railings or similar barriers to mark the boundaries of the hazard areas. Exception: When the employer can demonstrate that it is neither feasible to erect such barriers on the ground nor on the equipment, the hazard areas must be clearly marked by a combination of warning signs (such as "Danger--Swing/Crush Zone") and high visibility markings on the equipment that identify the hazard areas. In addition, the employer must train each employee to understand what these markings signify.

1926.1424(a)(3) Protecting Employees in the Hazard Area

1926.1424(a)(3)(i)

Before an employee goes to a location in the hazard area that is out of view of the operator, the employee (or someone instructed by the employee) must ensure that the operator is informed that he/she is going to that location.

1926.1424(a)(3)(ii)

Where the operator knows that an employee went to a location covered by paragraph (a)(1) of this section, the operator must not rotate the superstructure until the operator is informed in accordance with a pre-arranged system of communication that the employee is in a safe position.
