8、e. This bulletin prescribes responsibilities, procedures, and guidance for implementing the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970, as amended to date, to be used in the accomplishment of safety inspections and testing of lifting devices. NOTE When specific Department
9、of the Army (DA) inspection, load, and/or proof testing requirements have been published for designated lifting equipment, those requirements will take precedence over procedures in this bulletin. There may be instances where host nation Standards may apply. In those cases the more stringent standar
10、ds will be met. 2. Scope. This bulletin applies to Headquarters, Department of the Army Major Commands (Including subordinate commands, installations and activities) and separate installatlons and activities reporting directly to Headquarters, Department of the Army. 3. Definitions. For the purpose
11、of this publication, the following definitions apply: a. Liftina Devices. Any device or component used to raise, lower, hold, or position a load from one location or elevation to another. Examples of lifting devices include forklift trucks, cranes, manual or motorized pallet jacks, hoists, wreckers,
12、 A-frames, slings, ropes, wire ropes, hooks, O-rings, pear rings, spreader bars or lifting clamps, beams, jacks, safety stands, and jack stands. b. Liftina Fixtures . Any device or assembly of devices used to facilitate attachment of a load to a lifting device. Examples of lifting fixtures include a
13、n H-beam with nylon slings, wire rope with spreader bars or rope with lifting clamps. lifting device and the degree of exposure to wear, deterioration, or malfunction. c. Periodic. As related to inspections, a period of one year or less, based upon the nature of the NOTE On-vehicle equipment (jacks,
14、 winches, and towing equipment), commercial wreckers, and lifting devices that are a ”special application” part of weapons systems and covered by other technical manuals (TMs)(i.e., lifting slings beams that are part of a warhead section, .e., Pershing 1 A) are exempt from requirements of this bulle
15、tin when covered by specific TMs. d. Load Rating. The load rating is the maximum authorized load that may be lifted by a lifting device. The load rating may be less than or equal to, but shall not exceed the Manufacturers Rated Load. For fixtures, the smallest Manufacturers Rated Load component shal
16、l equal the fixtures rated load. e. Ma nufact urers Rated Load. The Manufacturers Rated Load is the maximum load that a piece of equipment and/or its accessories are allowed to lift; based on the equipments capacity data plate or other guidance from the manufacturer. f. Retrofit or Modification Work
17、 Orders MWOs). A publication or directive authorizing rework modification. g. Depot Maintena nce Work Requirements DMWRs). Precise criteria and definite instructions for the overhaul, repair, or reconditioning process and final operational test of equipment prior to the acceptance and certification

NOTE The requirements of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 191 5,191 7,191 8, and 191 9 take precedence over this bulletin for lifting devices used in maritime application. a. Testing. (1) Prior to initial use, all new, extensively repaired, or altered lifting devices shall be
20、given a rated load test. Manufacturers and repair activities should perform this test and provide written certification of load testing to the using activity. If load test certification is not obtained or available, using activities shall arrange for testing (refer to paragraph 4a(4), through Genera
21、l Support (GS) or Direct Support (DS) maintenance activities. Manufacturers certification or other records of rated load testing shall be maintained by the using activity. (2) Prior to initial use, all new, extensively repaired, or altered lifting devices shall be given a functional test to determin
22、e operability of the equipment. Functional testing requirements are indicated in the applicable appendix of this bulletin. Before performing the functional test, the proper opera,.m of brakes and limit, locking, and other safety devices shall be tested under no-load conditions. (3) Lifting devices w
23、hich have been idle for one year or more shall be functionally tested at 1 O0 percent of the rated load prior to use. (4) To determine the test load, refer to Table 1 unless other parameters are specified by the manufacturer. The load rating may be less than or equal to, but shall not exceed the Man
24、ufacturers Rated Load. For fixtures, the smallest Manufacturers Rated Load component shall equal the fixtures rated load. indicator, a calibrated dynamometer, weights that may be locally fabricated, or any available item of proper weight. All load testing devices, .e., load indicator and dynamometer

All locally fabricated weights and available items used for load testing must be verified for proper weight by the use of a calibrated scale. locations corresponding to Manufacturers Rated Load data. rating chosen in (4) above. T
26、he load rating shall be clearly marked on the device. In addition, the load rating shall become a part of the maintenance records of the equipment in accordance with paragraph 6e. based on the type of materials handled, equipment utilization, local requirements or conditions, manufacturers recommend
27、ations, and special requirements. (a) Test loads for all types of cranes and hoists may take the form of a calibrated load (b) Test loads for forklift trucks should be made from pallet loads with load center (5) Upon successful completion of the load test, the lifting device will be assigned the loa
