19、s been developed under the procedures accredited by the AmericanNational Standards Institute (ANSI). This Standard had its beginning in December 1916 whenan eight-page Code of Safety Standards for Cranes, prepared by the ASME Committee on theProtection of Industrial Workers, was presented at the ann
20、ual meeting of the ASME.Meetings and discussions regarding safety on cranes, derricks, and hoists were held from 1920to 1925 involving the ASME Safety Code Correlating Committee, the Association of Iron andSteel Electrical Engineers, the American Museum of Safety, the American Engineering StandardsC
21、ommittee (AESC) later changed to American Standards Association (ASA), then to theUSA Standards Institute (USASI), and finally to ANSI, Department of Labor State ofNew Jersey, Department of Labor and Industry State of Pennsylvania, and the LocomotiveCrane Manufacturers Association. On June 11, 1925,
22、 the AESC approved the ASME Safety CodeCorrelating Committees recommendation and authorized the project with the U.S. Departmentof the Navy, Bureau of Yards and Docks, and ASME as sponsors.In March 1926, invitations were issued to 50 organizations to appoint representatives to aSectional Committee.
23、The call for organization of this Sectional Committee was sent outOctober2,1926,andthecommitteeorganizedonNovember4,1926,with57membersrepresenting29 national organizations. Commencing June 1, 1927, and using the eight-page code publishedby ASME in 1916 as a basis, the Sectional Committee developed t
24、he Safety Code for Cranes,Derricks, and Hoists. The early drafts of this safety code included requirements for jacks, butdue to inputs and comments on those drafts, the Sectional Committee decided in 1938 to makethe requirements for jacks a separate code. In January 1943, ASA B30.2-1943 was publishe
25、daddressing a multitude of equipment types and in August 1943, ASA B30.1-1943 was publishedjust addressing jacks. Both documents were reaffirmed in 1952 and widely accepted as safetystandards.Duetochangesindesign,advancementintechniques,andgeneralinterestoflaborandindustryin safety, the Sectional Co
26、mmittee, under the joint sponsorship of ASME and the Bureau of Yardsand Docks (now the Naval Facilities Engineering Command) was reorganized onJanuary 31, 1962, with 39 members representing 27 national organizations. The new committeechanged the format of ASA B30.2-1943 so that the multitude of equi
27、pment types it addressedcould be published in separate volumes that could completely cover the construction, installation,inspection, testing, maintenance, and operation of each type of equipment that was included inthe scope of ASA B30.2. This format change resulted in the initial publication of B3
28、0.3, B30.5,B30.6, B30.11, and B30.16 being designated as revisions of B30.2 with the remainder of the B30volumes being published as totally new volumes. ASA changed its name to USASI in 1966 andto ANSI in 1969, which resulted in B30 volumes from 1943 to 1968 being designated as ASA B30,USAS B30, or
29、ANSI B30, depending on their date of publication.In 1982, the Committee was reorganized as an Accredited Organization Committee, operatingunder procedures developed by ASME and accredited by ANSI. This Standard presents a coordi-nated set of rules that may serve as a guide to government and other re
30、gulatory bodies andmunicipal authorities responsible for the guarding and inspection of the equipment falling withinits scope. The suggestions leading to accident prevention are given both as mandatory andadvisoryprovisions;compliancewithbothtypesmayberequiredbyemployersoftheiremployees.In case of p
31、ractical difficulties, new developments, or unnecessary hardship, the administrativeor regulatory authority may grant variances from the literal requirements or permit the use ofother devices or methods, but only when it is clearly evident that an equivalent degree ofprotection is thereby secured. T

Revisions do not imply that previous editions were inadequate.ASME B30.8 was first published in 1977; new editions were published in 1982, 1988, 1993, 1999,2004,
