EVALUATING CRANE OPERATOR EVALUATIONS Most surveyed said they conducted a new evaluation whenever an operator is assigned to a crane they were unfamiliar with.

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

To assess the degree of understanding and compliance of OSHA’s 2018 crane operator qualification rule, and to gauge its approach to operator evaluation, the NCCCO Foundation surveyed crane operator employers. The results are promising: Employers have a “fairly sound” understanding of OSHA rules, reports the research and education arm of the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators.

Though there are some aspects of the rule that create confusion and misunderstanding among survey respondents, the report, “Crane Operator Evaluation: How are employers responding to OSHA’s new requirement?” received encouraging responses.

Graham Brent, Foundation CEO, believes the results bode well for the industry: “Most employers that completed the survey were aware of the key elements of the evaluation requirement and how it works together with training and certification to complete the qualification process. In fact, many already had a process in place that simply needed to be reviewed in light of the new rule.”

According to the survey summary issued by the foundation, many respondents had voluntarily been performing operator evaluations in a manner very similar to what OSHA now requires. Sometimes it amounted to a “seat check,” which has always been encouraged by the certification bodies responsible for providing nationally accredited certifications, stated the report.

All Indications Are Good Brent said though the results do not necessarily represent the entire crane industry, they show an important slice of evaluation activity. He believes what the responses indicate about the implications of the Cranes & Derricks in Construction (C-DAC) Rule is enlightening.

“We were also trying to find out, if this is as good as it gets, what that implies about the rest of the industry,” said Brent.

As an example, he cited the survey question about document’s preamble, which is often overlooked because at more than 45 pages, the language is overwhelming to wade through.

“People go straight to the rule because the preamble is overwhelming in content and size. But the preamble is all about what OSHA has in mind,” said Brent. “It’s a tremendous picture of the rationale behind the rule. It also contains frequently asked questions as well issues we’ve suspected might be causing some confusion.”

Survey results show a need for education on the part of some respondents, asked to identify situations that might prompt new evaluations and the criteria they used to qualify evaluators themselves. While some had 10

The results of the NCCCO Foundation’s crane operator evaluation survey are promising: Employers have a “fairly sound” understanding of OSHA rules.

a negative view of the evaluation requirement — a third found it “burdensome” — 61 percent believe it would “help to save lives.”

Education is part of the foundation’s mission, said Brent, who found it interesting that the qualifying of evaluators confused respondents. Some felt if the evaluator often certified crane operators that that was enough to qualify him or her to evaluate.

But OSHA leaves evaluator qualification requirements “wide open,” and the preamble states that qualification as a crane operator isn’t necessarily the only attribute you need to evaluate another operator.

The Results Are In Asked who conducts their evaluations, only a small fraction of respondents indicated they engage a third-party company. In fact, 94 percent responded they conduct in-house evaluations.

“Regardless of who does them, the employer remains responsible,” noted the foundation.

In qualifying evaluators, less than half of respondents indicated they designate someone who has the necessary “knowledge, training and experience” to “assess equipment operators” as OSHA requires. While most employers believed evaluators’ operator certification qualified them to perform evaluations, the second most-cited criterion was that evaluators met OSHA’s definition of a qualified person.

“Both these responses could be cause for concern,” noted the foundation. “OSHA has made it clear that crane operator certification is not required for evaluators so it would be problematic if employers were to rely on that criterion alone. OSHA has stated this does not apply to operator qualification and there could be reason to believe that would be the case for evaluators also.”

OSHA allows employers to use evaluations conducted prior to December 2018, when the rule was issued, and 37 percent of survey respondents affirmed they are relying on past evaluations.

“However, they may not rely on evaluations conducted by a previous employer,” noted the report. “Although 5 percent said they had done that, most stated that at least some of the evaluations they had conducted were new.”

Employers were asked what they look for when conducting evaluations, and the top three options chosen were the operator knowledge and skill needed to operate the crane; the crane safety devices and operator aids; and the operator’s ability to recognize and avert risk.

Command of all three is required by the rule, so they should all have polled at 100 percent, noted the survey report. Size and configuration of the crane also must be taken into account, OSHA said, but only 63 percent of respondents said they were doing so.

“One explanation is that employers are not required to evaluate knowledge and skill if it does not change from crane to crane (and from one crane configuration to another),” stated the report. “Nevertheless, a baseline evaluation must be established and documented.”

There also seems to be some confusion among employers as to what OSHA means by “size and configuration,” noted the report’s authors. The rule is specific: Size and configuration includes (but is not limited to) lifting capacity, boom length, attachments, luffing jib (if attached), and counterweight set-up.

The last item — counterweight set-up — was missed by 27 percent of employers responding.

“On the plus side, several respondents commented they evaluated their operators for additional items such as crane setup, attaching the load, load chart calculations, holding the load, personnel lifting and traveling with and without a load.

“That’s good news because OSHA is clear that the list it provides is not exhaustive and provides examples in the preamble of what might fall into the category of “…but not limited to…” in any given situation,” according to the report.

The question of how an employer decides when to conduct a new evaluation resulted in less consensus than on other aspects of compliance. Ideally, all of the options listed should have been checked, noted the report. However, it’s possible that a couple of the options (whenever there are changes to the “crane configuration” or “operating environment”) were considered to be not relevant to their particular working environment.

“Nevertheless, a clear majority said they conducted a new continued on page 12

from page 11

evaluation whenever an operator is assigned to a crane with which they were not familiar. Only 67 percent, however, would conduct a new evaluation if the skills, knowledge and ability needed to operate a crane were determined to be different from those previously assessed.”

The low response could be accounted for by employers who would conduct a re-evaluation (rather than a full one) in such circumstances, noted the foundation. When an operator who has been previously evaluated on a particular piece of equipment is assigned to a different one, OSHA says a complete evaluation of all of the operator’s skills, knowledge and abilities is not necessary.

“This ‘supplemental re-evaluation’ can focus on the operator’s abilities to handle the differences between the new equipment and the one previously assigned, OSHA states,” according to the report Asked how employers decide when to conduct re-evaluations, only 20 percent chose “after retraining,” which is what OSHA requires. As the foundation interprets OSHA’s requirements, “whatever triggered re-evaluation (unsafe act, violation of OSHA rule or company policy, etc.) should also have already triggered retraining.”

However, 76 percent of respondents said they conducted reevaluations on an as-needed basis which could include postretraining. Only a minority reported re-evaluating after a specific period of time, most often annually.

The foundation pointed out that, in fact, OSHA decided against requiring specific evaluation times, such as the threeyear period mandated by the powered industrial truck standard.

However, the agency is clear that if there are significant changes to the equipment on which an operator was previously evaluated, the employer would need to retrain the operator on that equipment and re-evaluate his or her ability to operate the retrofitted equipment.

Where categorizing evaluations is concerned, almost all respondents reported conducting evaluations by the type of crane. Just under half also included the capacity of the crane in their evaluations which, as the foundation noted, certification

bodies are not required to include in their certification process.

Just over half of survey respondents also included crane configuration, and almost two-thirds categorized their evaluations by model and/or manufacturer.

“Documentation is a key element in the rule, similar to other OSHA standards that require competency evaluations,” stated the report. “Most employers said they were using traditional (paper) forms either that they created or that a third-party organization developed.”

Only 2 percent of respondents said they were capturing inthe-field information via electronic means such as a smartphone app, although many are likely storing the information electronically. “OSHA requires this information to be available at the work site,” noted the report.

Asked what identifying information employers are including on the evaluation documents, the foundation noted they seem “to be on top of the requirements to ensure that not only the name of the operator and the evaluator are included on the evaluation form, but also the date the evaluation was conducted. The evaluator must also sign the form.”

However, 7 percent of the respondents missed also including the make, model and configuration of the crane, details which OSHA also requires.

Follow the Directive

The NCCCO Foundation conducted the survey in anticipation of the delayed OSHA compliance directive, expected to be issued later this year. Brent imagined tops among questions from employers will address who conducts evaluations and how to document them. “The integrity of the evaluation depends on who you have doing it,” said Brent.

“Some employers wrote in the survey ‘Why don’t you just tell us specific requirements?’ ” he continued. But OSHA wants flexibility in the C-DAC rule.

“The word ‘flexibility’ is found 29 times in the preamble because OSHA wanted to give employers the opportunity to make this rule work for their existing operations,” said Brent.

Designed for internal use, directives are issued after a rule is published to inform the compliance officers on the ground of what’s required of them. The last C-DAC Compliance Directive was issued by OSHA in 2014. “It’s not written for employers. It’s intended to make this rule meaningful to compliance officers on the ground,” said Brent And it’s expected to be pretty straightforward. But if any language in it looks to be at odds with the industry’s general understanding of the C-DAC rule, there would be cause for further conversation.

“We don’t anticipate that,” said Brent.

“I think in many ways, employers might’ve been nervous about this, but in the final rule, the evaluation piece is much less onerous than what OSHA was proposing a number of years ago.”

That’s why it took so long to issue the directive, he added. “So long as we get where we need to go, that’s the key thing. We want to be safe for the industry.”

The delayed directive, he believes, represents “final closure on the qualification piece” of the C-DAC rule. “Finally we can turn the page on this, have closure on what OSHA requires regarding The NCCCO Foundation conducted the operator evaluation survey in anticipation of the new OSHA com- what makes an operator qualified.”  CQ pliance directive, expected to be issued later this year.

to use the Manitowoc Crane Care technical documentation and where to find answers to everyday questions, which if not proactively addressed, often causes problems,” Minoccheri said.

GPHA purchased the two RT530E-2 rough terrain cranes in January 2020 and is using them to handle general cargo at the Port of Tema, the largest ports in Ghana.

The RT530E-2 is a 33 ton (30 t) capacity crane with a 95 ft. (29 m) full-power boom, plus an optional 26 to 45 ft. (7.9 to 13.7 m) telescopic swingaway, which delivers a maximum tip height of 146 ft. (44.5 m).

The boom is made from 100 k.s.i. steel, which eliminates weight and maximizes structural capacities.

The compact dimensions of the RT530E-2 make it easy to maneuver around congested job sites, while the inverted outrigger jacks and hydraulic disc brakes on all wheels make it excellent for challenging terrains, according to the manufacturer.

Manitowoc Crane Care offers online and on-site training, as well as live training at its facilities around the world. Manitowoc has six Crane Care training centers across the world, located in Brazil, the United States, Portugal, Dubai, Singapore and Germany.

All centers are equipped with a range of training tools, including simulators of the operational systems used by Manitowoc cranes.

The simulators enable trainees to deepen their knowledge of hydraulic, electrical and pneumatic principles; practice troubleshooting procedures; and learn basic lessons on software programing, all with the goal of giving clients quick and efficient service. The use of simulators helps technicians to practice a wide range of actions on the different operational systems found in crane models.

Bird’s Eye View

Fans Rent Cranes to Watch Motor Lublin Racing Team While Social Distancing Instagram photo

Apparently, aerial work platforms, or man lifts, can be used for other things besides...well...work.

As crazed motorcycle racing fans in Poland recently showed, you also can use them to become socially distant from other outdoor spectators during the COVID19 pandemic, at the same time seeing the action from a better vantage point.

Fans of the Motor Lublin racing team rented 21 cranes to abide by social-distancing rules to watch their heroes’ race at the local speedway.

Motor Lublin were up against team GKM Grudziaz at the track, but only a limited number of fans were allowed into the stadium due to coronavirus restrictions.

Fans of Motor Lublin race team hired cranes to support their team and abide by social-distancing restrictions in Poland.

Motorcycle speedway racing has become a hugely popular sport in parts of Poland, and it showed after fans pooled together and rented the cranes to watch the top division race play out.

Using the aerial platforms has proven to

be a creative way for the sport’s Polish devotees to continue to enjoy racing in person. They have been implementing the tactic for a couple of weeks after a Twitter user posted images that showed them celebrating with flares at the end of one race.

The fans that went to the trouble in hiring the cranes were not disappointed after Motor Lublin defeated the travelling team 58-32.

The Speedway Ekstraliga in Poland is the nation’s top-tier motorcycle speedway racing association, as well as the country’s most popular sport. More people attend the speedway championships than Polish Football League games. 

LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD DEMAG CC 3800-1 CRAWLER ESSENTIAL IN FC METZ NEW STADIUM It was certainly a great moment for the fans of FC Metz when the enormous steel structures, weighing up to 266 tons, of the new south stand in the club’s stadium were lifted and assembled. A job that the construction company responsible, Demathieu Bard, together with Costantini, entrusted to Martifer the manufacturer of the structure. The lift itself was performed by crane service provider Sarens using its Demag CC 3800-1 lattice boom crawler crane, since it had all the prerequisites to perform this sporting feat.

To make the “playing field” accessible for the Demag CC 3800-1, however, the subsoil at the edge of the stadium first had to be specially prepared.

“With two layers [7m+5m] of 20 cmthick Bongossi timber, we provided sufficient support for the crane,” said Demathieu Bard Site Manager Julien LOR’N VERIF photo Cavelius, who was visibly impressed by The Sarens team set up the crane in SWSL configuration with 197-ft. main boom, 118-ft. Superlift mast and the dimensions of the equipment. a 78.7-ft.-long luffing jib for the demanding lifts.

“For me, the Demag CC 3800-1 is an absolutely beautiful machine that can be set up amazingly quickly site per day, just three Sarens employees using two assist cranes and easily despite its gigantic dimensions. The machine worked were able to assemble the crane ready for use in five days,” said precisely and reliably — despite the huge components that had to Cavelius.

Once the assembly work was completed, there were two more be lifted.” days for acceptance and testing, so the crane was ready for lifting after seven days.

Five Days Setup Time The Sarens team set up the crane in SWSL configuration with The complex ground preparation required the use of 18 truck transports for the necessary material and 55 transports for the crane 197 ft. (60 m) main boom, 118 ft. (36 m) Superlift mast and a 78.7 ft. (24 m) — long luffing jib for the demanding lifts. The counteritself.

“Since we brought eight to twelve transports to the construction weight on the superstructure weighed 182 tons (165 t), and the Superlift counterweight up to a maximum of 358 tons (325 t), depending on the loads to be lifted.

The Demag CC 3800-1 was thus able to lift the four steel structures, each 147 ft. (45 m) long, 82 ft. (25 m) wide and 46 ft. (14 m) high, and weighing up to 266.7 tons (242 t).

The crane first lifted the components to a height of 52.5 ft. (16 m) so that it was possible to move them over a row of trees at the edge of the stadium. The crane operator then slewed the load over the trees and lifted it by a further 42.6 to 95 ft. (13 to 29 m). This provided enough height to be able to slew it over the stadium’s existing stand and, with the help of signal people, lower it exactly to the place where it was “received” and anchored by the Martifer technicians.

“The lifting performed by the CC 3800-1 was an absolutely impressive spectacle for me. There has not been such a crane operation in Metz in the last 30 years,” said Cavelius.

ROCKIN’ SOME

HEAVY METAL IN CHICAGO

Central specified two cranes for the work — a 550ton Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1 and a 220-ton Liebherr LTM 1200-5.1.

After the bridge was cut free from its supports, both cranes held the piece in place as ironworkers went to work cutting the span into two sections. In all, they held it aloft for two hours.

To upgrade the processing line at a Chicago-area metals-handling plant, a truss bridge supporting a conveyor needed to be removed to make way for its eventual replacement. The conveyor feeds a kiln where material is heated to remove impurities.

Brandenburg Industrial Services was in charge of demolition, contracting with Dearborn Engineers & Constructors to perform site analysis and Central Contractors Service, a member of the ALL Family of Companies, to provide cranes for the bridge removal.

Central specified two cranes for the work, a 550-ton Liebherr LTM 1450-8.1 and a 220-ton Liebherr LTM 1200-5.1. Dearborn identified placement for the cranes, with the LTM-1450 positioned at the north end of the bridge to be removed and the LTM 1200 placed at the south end.

Because of the bridge’s location and anchoring, project leaders determined that the cranes would need to support the full weight of the bridge first, hold it as it was cut free from its anchor points, and then suspend it in air as it was cut into two pieces before finally being set on the ground.

“The bridge was supported at three points,” said Mike Walsh, president of Dearborn Engineers & Constructors. “So without this approach, no matter where we cut it first, something was going to float.”

The higher-capacity LTM 1450 was responsible for lifting the end of the bridge that would eventually be cut into a single 129ft. section, the longer of the two pieces. The LTM 1200 would handle the second section, to be 65 ft. long after cutting.

“To prevent shock load, both cranes were preloaded prior to the bridge being cut free from its anchor points,” said Walsh. “Central’s operators carefully cranked the drums and ran enough wire to increase tension to the rigging so it was equivalent to the pounds that would soon be loaded.”

After the bridge was cut free from its supports, both cranes held the piece in place as ironworkers went to work cutting the span into two sections. In all, they held it aloft for two hours.

After bisecting for the shorter 65-ft. section on the south end, the LTM 1200 drifted, turned the nose to the west, and set the piece on the ground. The longer 129-ft. northern section was slightly more complicated. The LTM 1450 had to drive northeast, rotate the section, drift it, and set it on the ground east of the crane.

“As is common on the grounds of working industrial plants, crane operators have to be aware of the elevations of surrounding structures and silos,” said Walsh. “It requires a steady hand at the helm. All the operators from Central are as steady as neurosurgeons.”

Because of the bridge’s location and anchoring, project leaders determined that the cranes would need to support the full weight of the bridge first, hold it as it was cut free from its anchor points, and then suspend it in air as it was cut into two pieces before finally being set on the ground.

Walsh also noted that operators performed the work while the plant’s second line remained in full operation.

Why was the bridge cut into unequal sections? It had to do with the location of a bridge bend. It was the natural point at which to cut the bridge into sections, and it was located 65 ft. from the southern end and 129 ft. from the northern end.

After Central’s cranes set the sections on the ground, teams of ironworkers further dismantled them into smaller pieces that would be trucked away from the site.

SAFETY IN THE CITY

IUOE Local 14 Undergoes Urban Crane Training With Simulator

Adding the simulator to its training arsenal allows Local 14 to serve operators at all levels.

Imagine the responsibility of operating a 300 ft. boom crane in North America’s most densely populated setting and you’ll understand why a New York City (NYC) crane license is arguably the most difficult of its kind to obtain in the United States.

Even under ideal and open conditions, the operation of construction equipment has its risks. And within the confines of an urban environment such risks increase exponentially.

International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 14 members sit behind the controls of NYC’s heavy equipment ranging from cranes, excavators and drill rigs, to boom trucks, pavers and forklifts, etc.

As construction equipment becomes more sophisticated, the importance of training is amplified. Under the direction of IUOE 14 Business Manager Ed Christian, training and safety have taken on new levels of importance and urgency.

With a mission to maintain its rank as the highest skilled trade in the city’s construction industry, Local 14’s training center (Montrose, N.Y.) provides instruction for new and advanced users alike. Among the school’s six training simulators is a 300 ft. boom crane simulator developed by CM Labs.

Push for Safety “People recognize that this is a dangerous business; and we’ve made safety our top priority,” said Training Director Tom Gordon.

A 30-year industry veteran, Gordon’s responsibilities include 22

safety and training curriculum along with related equipment evaluation and purchase.

“OSHA has very stringent safety guidelines and New York City has requirements that exceed those. Simply put, we’re responsible for the safety of our workforce and people in and around the job site, and we take that very seriously.”

As they increase in size and length, boom cranes become progressively difficult to maneuver. Driven by safety concerns, New York City imposed strict license requirements for operators of cranes with 300 ft. or more boom length.

Because large cranes are most often used within urban settings, training opportunities were not always available or practical. In the past, this entailed locating a specific crane in service and hoping to find time for closely supervised baptism-under-fire, instruction.

“You can imagine how stressful and difficult it would be to make that your first time in the seat,” said Gordon.

Faced with a need to meet new regulatory requirements and enhance the skill set of experienced crane operators, New York City’s International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 14 put its trust in CM Labs.

Custom Solution A few years earlier, while attending a tradeshow, Gordon had been introduced to CM Labs and the company’s simulators.

Impressed with the level of detail and realism, he quickly recognized the value of simulators as training tools. Since that time,

For information about advertising in or submitting articles for Construction Equipment Guide’s Crane Product & Service Guide, call 800/523-2200 or e-mail: cmongeau@cegltd.com

Strict detail was used to identify and simulate the steps of what happens when everything goes well, along with the consequences when things don’t — and ensure that the simulator’s reaction would mirror that of the crane.

the union’s training school has acquired several CM Labs heavy equipment simulators.

“Experiencing the controls, forces, inertia, twisting and movement of a crane are critical to understanding the reaction differences between a 200 and 300 ft. boom,” said Gordon.

“Our top priority was to provide operators with detailed training for the procedures of erection and lay-down of a 300 ft. boom or luffing jib. These are dangerous steps in crane operation, and we had to get it right.”

In fact, requirements were so exact and critical that some questioned whether such detail and complexity could be adequately simulated.

“We were skeptical,” said Gordon. “We weren’t convinced that a simulator could realistically reproduce the angles, point of jackknife, controls, vision, rigging, loads, cables and a hundred other things.”

Creating a training simulator that would provide a crane rating had never been done. Success would rely on capturing the realworld reactions of the complex equipment while reflecting the operator’s working knowledge of a specific crane type, model and configuration.

“This was an extremely complex project,” said CM Labs Director of Product Strategy, Drew Carruthers. “We modeled the crane’s inner workings exactly — every segment, every wire, each component. We had to identify what could behave how, and why; and then model those consequences exactly. Our simulations had to allow the equipment to be pushed to its limits safely without exceeding the tipping point.”

Engineering specifications and other information supplied by the manufacturer would help developers create a model of the crane — along with each of its individual components. This allowed Carruthers and his team to realistically capture the relationship between all the machine’s parts.

This level of detail was used to identify and simulate the steps of what happens when everything goes well, along with the consequences when things don’t — and ensure that the simulator’s

reaction would mirror that of the crane.

Results CM Labs delivered a custom simulator that met all requirements and exceeded expectations. What’s more, the simulator carries the distinction as the first and only virtual crane rating solution approved by the NYC Department of Buildings.

The manufacturer also was so impressed that it is using the simulation model to help showcase the crane’s controls.

“This was truly a game changer,” said Gordon. “It’s such an efficient tool, it adds another dimension and is an excellent supplement to our already stringent training protocols. Our people spend days on the simulator; and I’m not talking about just new operators. These are licensed operators who haven’t operated cranes in that specific configuration and want to get comfortable with how it reacts.”

Adding the simulator to its training arsenal allows Local 14 to serve operators at all levels.

“I think most simulators are used to train people who are just starting, apprentices, newcomers to the business,” explained Gordon. “We're now able to provide advanced training for our journeyman and licensed operators who have been running cranes for years.”

Bolstered by year-round training, Local 14 is maintaining a growing pool of 300 ft. certified crane operators. As a result, CM Labs is working to develop a similar simulator based on the specifications of a different crane manufacturer.

“The simulator works great and journeymen as well as trainees are impressed by the optics and realism,” said Gordon. “When it comes to training, you’re not just saving on fuel and equipment wear and tear — that’s a bonus and a big number. More importantly, you’re ensuring the safety of the instructor, operator, and others on the job site. But just as important, it allows us to actively promote crane operator training and safety throughout the industry.”
