1、ASME B30.5 INTERPRETATIONSASME B30.5 INTERPRETATIONSReplies to Technical InquiriesMay 2011 Through May 2013FOREWORDThis publication includes all of the written replies issued between the indicated dates by theSecretary, speaking for the ASME B30 Committee, Safety Standard for Cableways, Cranes,Derri

2、cks, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks, and Slings, to inquiries concerning interpretations to technicalapsects of ASME B30.5, Mobile and Locomotive Cranes.These replies are taken verbatim from the original letters, except for any typographical correc-tions and some minor editorial corrections made for the purpo

3、se of improved clarity.These interpretations were prepared in accordance with the accredited ASME procedures.ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of these interpretations when or if additionalinformation is available which the inquirer believes might affect the interpretation. Further,persons

4、 aggrieved by this interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee orSubcommittee. ASME does not “approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction,proprietary device, or activity.I-1ASME B30.5 INTERPRETATIONSInterpretation: 5-96Subject: ASME B30.5-2007, Para. 5-3.1.2(b)(3)D

5、ate Issued: May 27, 2011Question: Does the B30.5 committee believe that the use of calculators is inappropriate?Reply: Paragraph 5-3.1.2(b)(3) does not specify what tools are to be used to demonstrate theability to read, write, comprehend, and use arithmetic and a load capacity chart.Interpretation:

6、 5-97Subject: ASME B30.5-2007, Para. 5-3.4.5.1 and ASME B30.22-2005, Para. 22-3.3.1Date Issued: June 3, 2011Background: The ASME B30.22-2010 update to this Volume contains requirements and terminol-ogy that are identical to B30.5-2007. Both Volumes apply to overhead electric power lines, regardlesso

7、f whether they are used for transmission, distribution, or other purposes. Both Volumes applyto manufactured insulated conductors and conductors with temporary insulating material. NeitherVolume addresses conductors that are encased in conduit or raceways.Question (1): Does the phrase “coverings of

8、wires” include both manufactured insulated cableand temporary insulating material?Reply (1): The Volume does not draw any distinction between manufactured insulated cableand temporary insulating material. Paragraph 5-3.4.5.1 states “Crane operators shall not rely onthe coverings of wires for their p

9、rotection.”Question (2): If so, is it a requirement of B30.5-2007 that cranes must maintain the clearancesof Table 2 when operating or transiting near insulated energized power lines?Reply (2): Yes, unless there is compliance with B30.5-2007, para. 5-3.4.5.4.Question (3): Does the word “coverings” (

10、above) include conduit or other raceways that areencasing one or more energized power lines?Reply (3): B30.5-2007 does not address wires encased in conduit or raceways.Question (4): All four illustrations in Figure 18 of Reference (a) refer to Table 1. Should thesereferences be to Table 2?Reply (4):

11、 Yes. This was corrected in a previous ballot and will be in the next publication ofthe Volume.I-2ASME B30.5 INTERPRETATIONSInterpretation: 5-98Subject: ASME B30.5-2004, Paras. 5-3.1.3(c) and 5-3.1.3(d), ASME B30.5-2007, Paras. 5-3.1.3.2.1(d),5-3.1.3.2.2(b), and 5-3.1.3.3Date Issued: January 31, 201

12、2Question (1): ASME B30.5-2004 (Revision of ASME B30.5-2000), para. 5-3.1.3(c) provides thatthe crane operator “shall respond to signals from an appointed signal person.” Does this meana crane operator may conclude there are no safety concerns with respect to the activities ofsubcontractors in the c

13、rane operators blind area while the crane is in operation?Reply (1): The cited paragraph requires the operator to respond to the appointed signal person.The signal persons responsibility is to direct the operator to move the load safely.Question (2): ASME B30.5-2004 (Revision of ASME B30.5-2000), pa

14、ra. 5-3.1.3(d) provides thatwhenever there is any doubt as to safety, the operator shall consult with the supervisor beforehandling the loads. Is the “doubt as to safety” referenced in the standard meant to extend toconcerns that employees of another subcontractor engaged in disconnecting the load f

15、rom thecrane are not wearing fall protection?Reply (2): The operator is not responsible for hazards or conditions that are not under hisdirect control. This Volume does not address fall protection requirements.Question (3): ASME B30.5-2007 (Revision of ASME B30.5-2004), para. 5-3.1.3.2.1(d) provides

16、that a Site Supervisors responsibilities include “ensuring that crane operations are coordinatedwith other jobsite activities that will be affected by or will affect lift operations.” Where a craneis engaged in hoisting roof trusses does this mean the Site Supervisor, as opposed to the craneoperator

17、, is responsible for formulating a plan to land the trusses so they are secured and stabilizedbefore the trusses are disconnected from the crane?Reply (3): This Volume does not address formulating a plan to land the trusses so they aresecured and stabilized before the truss is disconnected from the

18、crane.Question (4): ASME B30.5-2007 (Revision of ASME B30.5-2004), para. 5-3.1.3.2.2(b) providesthat a Lift Directors responsibilities include “stopping crane operations if alerted to an unsafecondition affecting those operations.” Does this unsafe condition include situations where subcon-tractors

19、involved in disconnecting loads from the crane are not wearing fall protection?Reply (4): The Volume does not detail the “unsafe conditions” that could cause the lift directorto stop crane operations. This Volume does not address fall protection requirements.Question (5): Do crane operators responsi

20、bilities under ASME B30.5-2007 (Revision of ASMEB30.5-2004), para. 5-3.1.3.3 include verifying whether employees of another subcontractor in ablind area engaged in disconnecting load from the crane are wearing fall protection?Reply (5): No.I-3ASME B30.5 INTERPRETATIONSInterpretation: 5-99Subject: AS

23、tor is allowed to accept as accuratethe load weight information provided to him by the site supervisor, provided there is no otherinformation (visible/written/historic) to create a doubt as to the provided load weights accuracy,and to initiate the actions outlined in para. 5-3.1.3.3?Reply (2): Yes.B

24、ackground:(a) Subparagraph (n), ensuring that a cranes load rigging is performed by designated person-nel as defined in para. 5-0.2.2.(b) Subparagraph (o), ensuring that the load is properly rigged and balanced before it islifted more than a few inches.Question (3): Do paras. 5-3.1.3.2.2(n) and (o)

25、mean that, for lifts where a crane operator hasneither physical access to a loads rigging-location nor visibility of the actions taken in attachingthe rigging to a load, the crane operator is not the person at the site intended to accomplish theseresponsibilities?Reply (3): Yes, paras. 5-3.1.3.2.2(n

26、) and (o) fall within the role of the Lift Director.Question (4): Does the statement “The crane operator shall not be responsible for hazards orconditions that are not under his direct control and that adversely affect the lift operation” meanthat a crane operator is not responsible for the improper

27、 rigging of a load, which is out of theoperators view, accomplished by qualified riggers?Reply (4): Yes; see para. 5-3.1.3.3.1(v).Background: Subparagraph (r), ensuring that the load and rigging weight(s) have been provided.Question (5): What does the word “ensure” mean in para. 5-3.1.3.3.1(r), in t

28、erms of the “actions”to be taken by a crane operator, in order for the operator to be considered as having met therequirements of this paragraph?Reply (5): See para. 5-0.2.2; “ensure: term used when the meaning take steps to see that ormake sure is intended.”I-4ASME B30.5 INTERPRETATIONSBackground:

29、Subparagraph (c), when loads that are not accurately known are to be lifted, thedesignated person responsible for supervising the lifting operations shall ascertain that the weightof the load does not exceed the crane ratings at the maximum radius at which the load is to behandled.Question (6): Does

30、 para. 5-3.2.1.1(c) mean that if a crane operator is provided the weight ofthe load by the site supervisor and the crane operator sets the crane up so that the providedload weight and rigging is 66% of the cranes capacity at the maximum radius at which the loadis to be handled, the requirements of t

31、his paragraph are met?Reply (6): When the weight of the load to be handled has been determined by the personresponsible for supervising the lifting operations and the weight is determined to be within thecranes rated capacity, para. 5-3.2.1.1(c) has been met.I-5ASME B30.5 INTERPRETATIONSInterpretati
