Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.179(b)(8): Designated personnel - Only designated personnel shall be permitted to operate a crane covered by this section. On February 9, 2018 the employer did not ensure that only designated personnel were permitted to operate a crane covered by this section, in that the employer allowed an employee who had not received adequate training from the employer to operate a crane. Designated Definition: Selected or assigned by the employer or the employer's representative as being qualified to perform specific duties [emphasis added]. Because the term "qualified" is not itself defined, OSHA would interpret "qualified" in light of operator-qualifications provisions of industry standards such as ANSI B30.2. Although the 1910.178 training requirements do not apply, you may also find it useful to consult that standard when developing a training or evaluation program for "travel lift" operators.
