Crane Operations Clause Samples
The Crane Operations clause defines the rules and requirements governing the use of cranes on a project site. It typically outlines who is authorized to operate cranes, the necessary safety protocols, and the procedures for scheduling and coordinating crane lifts. For example, it may require operators to hold specific certifications and mandate pre-lift safety meetings. The core function of this clause is to ensure safe and efficient crane usage, minimizing the risk of accidents and coordinating activities to prevent project delays.
Crane Operations. All operations of Cranes, Multi-Purpose Machines and Material Handling Equipment shall comply with EM 385-1-1, NAVFAC P-307, 29 CFR Part Spec Item Title Description 1910, and 29 CFR Part 1926. The Contractor shall comply with paragraph 1.7.2 of NAVFAC P-307 and notify the Contracting Officer at least 24 hours prior to bringing any crane (including delivery vehicles with crane boom attachments), multi-purpose machines, material handling equipment, or construction equipment that may be used in a crane-like application to lift suspended loads on board a Navy Installation. Written documentation of the last weight test of the crane and all related weight handling equipment (e.g. attachments, rigging gear, etc.) shall be maintained on site. A joint verification with the Government representative must be performed to ensure that a legible and indelible completed copy of Appendix P, Figure P-1 of NAVFAC P-307 is maintained on the crane, multi-purpose machine, and material handling equipment or construction equipment used in a crane-like application to lift suspended loads. The following certification and testing documentation shall be on site prior to entry and use on any Navy Installation: 1) Crane, multi-purpose machine, material handling equipment or construction equipment used in a crane-like application to lift suspended load certification 2) Load testing 3) Yearly, monthly and daily inspection logs 4) Rope/sling certifications 5) Operator certifications/designations 6) Designation of person performing log inspections 7) Cranes that are permanently located on a Navy Installation shall have a quarterly joint verification
2.9.4.1 Crane Inspections The Contractor shall ensure all inspections are performed in accordance with EM 385-1-1, NAVFAC P-307, 29 CFR Part 1910, and 29 CFR Part 1926 (daily, monthly, quarterly, yearly), and retain the current documentation of inspections.

Crane Operations. Only certified crane operators will be allowed to operate cranes on site. Only qualified riggers/flaggers will be allowed to signal the crane and rig loads to be flown. Hand signals/radios will be used to communicate with the crane operator. Whistles will be used to alert all employees in the area that a pick is being made. All loads must have a non-conductive tag line attached. For mobile cranes, the swing radius of the crane must be barricaded at all times. Outriggers must have appropriate cribbing in place prior to any loads being flown. If a crane’s working radius encompasses active power lines, one of the following must be done:
