About OSHAOn December 29, 1970, President Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) into law. The OSH Act created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance.
Works with employers and employees to reduce workplace hazards through partnerships and alliances; Introduces new or improves upon existing safety and health programs; Utilizes consensuses standards through an agreement with ANSI; Educates on safety and health rules that are designed to protect workers; Enforces the rules through inspection and citations; Monitors job-related injuries and illnesses through electronic records and reporting; and Conducts a variety of inspections to include: accidents, fatalities, complaints and programmed inspections.What Does OSHA Do?
Workers Have the Right To: Safe and healthful working conditions; File a confidential complaint with OSHA to have their workplace inspected; Review records of work-related injuries and illnesses; Receive training regarding the OSHA standards that apply to their workplace; Report any injury or illness without retaliation or discrimination; Obtain copies of test results done to find hazards in the workplace; and Obtain copies of their medical records.Source: OSHA 3021-09R 2011, www.osha.gov/workers.html
Employers Must: Provide a workplace free from recognized hazards and comply with standards, rules and regulations issued under the OSHA Act; Eliminate or reduce hazards by making feasible changes in working conditions; Not discriminate against employees who exercise their rights under the Act; Inform employees of hazards through training, labels, alarms, etc.; Train employees in a language/vocabulary employees can understand; and Keep accurate records of work-related injuries and illnesses.Source: OSHA 3021-09R 2011, www.osha.gov/workers.html

Section 4Synthetic Rope
TopicsHaving knowledge of all equipment in your lifting plan is critical. Synthetic Rope Blocks, Slings, and Shackles Selection/Marking, Use, and Maintenance/Inspection System Compatibility
Kernmantle Rope Is ideal for use in rescue, lifelines, ascent/decent rope access work. Highest Strength/Weight Ratio. The most frequent kernmantle rope diameters used in telecom is 12mm (1/2”).
Double Braid Rope Most common type of rope used for hoisting is Double Braid. Double Braid is a braided core surrounded by a braided sheath. Both braids share the load equally. Ideal for load rope.
3 Strand Rope Most common type of rope used for chase rope. 5/8” is sometimes used as a backup lifeline. Remember that life safety ropes can never be used for material handling. Allows users to take their primary rope out of service for proper storage and inspection, and easily get back to operation.
Know Your Rope Knowing your rope specifications is critical. Type of Rope Rope Manufacturer Date of Manufacturing MBS Where can this information be found?
Terms for Rigging ABS Average Breaking Strength MBS Minimum Breaking Strength SWL Being Phased Out WLL Working Load Limit The minimum breaking load of a component divided by an appropriate factor of safety giving a maximum load that can be lifted or be carried. (WLL) For Ropes, is 10% of the (MBS) minimum breaking strength FS Factor of Safety 10:1
Diameter & MBS Breaking Strength of Synthetic Rope must be known. Below is an example of one manufacturer’s Double Braid. Each manufacturer’s ratings are different, as different constructions and materials are used.Example:
Calculating WLLBreaking Strength ÷ Factor of SafetyYou have a ½” Double Braid Polyester rope that has a MBS of 11,000 pounds.What is the WLL that can be safely lifted?
Calculating WLLBreaking Strength ÷ Factor of SafetyYou have a ½” Double Braid Polyester rope that has a MBS of 11,000 pounds.Answer: 11,000 (MBS) ÷ 10 = 1,100 lbs.

Cordage Institute Cordage Institute is an international association of rope manufacturers, nearly 100 years old, that creates uniform rope standards CI 2001-04 Fiber Rope Inspection & Retirement Criteria
CI 2001-04 Guidelines Of particular interest to our industry is Section 4 Inspection & Retirement Programs The following sections present the requirements for an effective inspection and retirement program.
CI 2001-04 Guidelines 4.1.1 The user is responsible to establish a program for inspection and retirement that considers conditions of use and degree of risk for the particular application. A program should include: Assignment of supervisory responsibility. The user should assign an individual responsible for establishing the program, for training and qualifying inspectors and preserving records. Written procedures Training Record keeping Establishment of retirement criteria for each application. Schedule for inspections.
CI 2001-04 Requirements 4.1.2 Ropes that secure or control valuable assets or whose failure would cause serious damage, pollution, or threat to life warrant more scrutiny than ropes in non-critical use. If a fiber rope is used in a highly demanding application, with potentially critical risks, the advice of a qualified person should be obtained when developing the specific inspection and retirement program.
CI 2001-04 Requirements 4.1.3 The user should continue to revise and refine the program based on experience.
Rope Inspection Log CI 2001-4.3 “An important tool for rope evaluation is a log. This will include data on the type of rope, time in service and description of intended use. The details of every inspection should be entered in the log as to date, location and conclusions. The log should include a regular inspection schedule.” CI 2001-5.1.1 During the inspection, identify the rope with a tag. Shrink tube is an inexpensive solution.
Sample Rope Log
Rope InspectionSection 6 outlines common causes of rope damage and describes their effects. These include: Excessive Tension / Shock Loading Cyclic Tension Wear Nicks, Cuts, and Abrasion Damage Pulled Strands and Yarns Flex Fatigue Knots Creep Sunlight Degradation Chemical and Heat Degradation Dirt and Grit
Rope Inspection Take note of factors such as load history, bending radius, abrasion, chemical exposure. Inspecting your rope should be a continuous process of observation, during, and after each use. Look and feel along every inch of rope length inspecting for cut strands, compression, pulled strands, melted or glazed fibers, discoloration, degradation, inconsistent diameter and abrasion. Signs of these may indicate possible loss of strength.
Rope InspectionsCan this rope be used safely?Glossy/Glazed: Glossy or glazed areas in rope indicate that it has been exposed to heat damage or compression. Remove affected section. If not possible, retire rope.
Rope InspectionsCan this rope be used safely?Inconsistent Diameter: Look for flat areas, bumps, or lumps in the rope. This can be a sign of core or internal damage from overloading or shock loads. Remove affected section. If not possible, retire rope.
Rope InspectionsCan this rope be used safely?Wear: Any kind of burns, cuts, nicks, broken yarns, or excess wear (50% on double braid) on the sheath is also a sign that the rope needs to be removed from service.
Rope InspectionsCan this rope be used safely?Discoloration: Ropes get dirty, but if the discoloration is from excess sun exposure or chemicals, the rope should be removed from service. Determining if discoloration is from dirt and grime or something more like sun exposure or chemicals is much easier if you regularly clean your rope.
Rope Care & Maintenance Washing Dirt and grease causes internal fiber abrasion, and shortens its life. Wash by hand in a bath with non-bleaching, non-detergent soap. Drying Dry your rope in a clean, dry area out of the sun.Recording Record the cleaning in your rope log.
Rope StorageStorage Store your rope in a cool, clean, dark, dry environment. Excess humidity will damage your rope.

Section 5Rigging Forces and Lift Systems
Topics Typical Lift Configurations Sling Forces Block Forces Line Forces Worked Examples
Calculation Notes Calculated rigging forces provided in this presentation are intended for synthetic rope hoisting operations using typical 1,000 lbs. Capstan hoists. Calculations are based upon the following assumptions: Block and Sling Forces assume constant line tension through the system (no friction and no reduction for fall line weight) Line pull demands seen at hoist include compensation for fall line weight and friction in the reeved sheave assembliesNOTE: Additional considerations may be required for more complex lifting systems including, but not limited to, line parts of 3 or more, 3 or more reeved sheaves, and/or gin pole applications.
Typical Lift Configurations Four Standard Lifting Block Arrangements:1) Top Block Only With Straight Tag2) Top And Heel Blocks With Straight Tag3) Integrated Trolley (aka Self-Trolley)4) Dedicated Trolley
Typical Lift ConfigurationsStraight Tag With Top Block Only: PROS:• Simple system incorporating only one block• Easy to setup CONS:• Tag line must be kept away from load line• Load line can act as a visual obstruction• Difficult for hoist operator to visually identify clearance issues during hoisting• Applies vertical load to hoisting unit (must ensure mounting unit is rated for vertical loading)• Less overall load control• Increased tendency for shock/impact loads• Increased tendency for developing high imposed rigging forces due to tag forces
Typical Lift ConfigurationsStraight Tag With Top and Heel Blocks: PROS:• Provides added control to lead line and removes visual obstruction• Allows more diverse hoist setup options CONS:• More difficult to employ on towers with multiple obstructions/equipment below working elevations (may require reeving through obstructions)• Increased tendency for shock/impact loads• Increased tendency for developing high imposed rigging forces due to tag forces
Typical Lift ConfigurationsIntegrated Trolley (aka Self-Trolley): PROS:• Simple system incorporating only one block• Easy to setup• Uses single line for both lifting and control• Provides good load control• Predictable rigging forces in load line CONS:• Limits hoist setup locations• Clear distance from structure/obstructions cannot be easily manipulated during lift (issue for obstructions and multiple work elevations)• Applies vertical load to hoisting unit (must ensure mounting unit is rated for vertical loading)• Load angle and load line clear distance reduces as load is raised, and is significantly less during lowering operations due to sheave friction
Typical Lift ConfigurationsDedicated Trolley: PROS:• Provides added control to lead line and removes visual obstruction• Allows diverse hoist setup options• Superior load control• Tag induces least force onto load• Predictable rigging forces in load line CONS:• Requires additional rigging attachments which requires additional crew members to properly monitor• More difficult to employ on towers with multiple obstructions/equipment below working elevations (may require reeving through obstructions)

Line Forces To determine Line Forces, must know:1) Gross load weight2) Tag method3) Number of line parts4) Sheave frictional resistance5) Load position and tag angles
Line ForcesLoad WeightRigging Weight• Overhaul ball/weight, slings, shackles, etc.Tag Line Weight• Only include for Straight Tag configurationsLoad Line Weight• Do not need to include fall line weight to hoistLoad SideGross Load, WT:WT = Lifted Load + Rigging Weight on Load Side Fall Line (To Hoist)
Line ForcesTag Method: Straight Tag Trolley Tag Integrated Trolley (aka Self-Trolley) Dedicated Trolley
Line ForcesStraight Tag: Tag Line force is directly transferred into the Load Line Increased tendency for developing excessive forces in the Load Line Increased tendency for shock/impact loading Provides simple means for controlling the load with minimal attachments
Line ForcesTrolley Tag: Tag Line force is NOT transferred into the Load Line During active lifting, the tag line actually relieves force from the load line; however, the Load Line ultimately supports the full Gross Load during the initial lift and final landing Predictable Load Line force Provides superior load control More so for Dedicated Trolley Configurations Requires additional attachments which must be monitored during hoisting operations
Line ForcesNumber of Line Parts:LOADLOADFall Line (To Hoist)Fall Line (To Hoist)Single Part 2-Part
Line ForcesLine Parting Principles: Multi-parting the line provides a mechanical advantage for hoisting operations 2-parting the line is most common for hoisting applications with synthetic rope Results in loss of load travel speed Increases frictional resistance of the hoisting system Important to consider attachment anchorage location for dead-end If attached to rigging block becket, the additional line tension must be added to the resulting block force
Line ForcesLine Parting Principles: 2-Part Hoisting Configuration Provides up to a 2:1 mechanical advantage not accounting for block angles and friction Actual mechanical advantage typically ranges from around 1.5-1.9:1 for most common configurations System Components: Blocks Dead-End Parts of LineLOADStationaryBlockTravellingBlockDead-EndDead Line(To Dead-End)Fall Line (To Hoist)Return Line
Line ForcesMechanical Advantage for Typical 2-Part Arrangements: Must account for bearing type and total reeved sheaves in the system Losses attributed to sheave friction results in less mechanical advantageNOTE:1) Typical 2-Part arrangement with top and heel blocks will have a minimum of 3 reeved sheaves ~ heel block, top block, and travelling block.2) Each additional diverter/fairlead must be considered, and ultimately decreases the systems mechanical efficiency.

Section 6Hoisting Operations, Execution and Communication
Topics Hoisting Capstan Hoist Anchorage Testing, Monitoring, Controls Communication Planned vs. Changed Condition
Hoist Capstan Hoist Generally used for moderate lifting and tag applications Most units are rated from 1,000 to 3,000 lbs. WLL Requires trained operator Daily inspection prior to use Always follow guidelines of operator’s manual
Capstan HoistMust be equipped with Deadman Switch and Safety BarNOT ALLOWED FOR PERSONNEL LIFTINGRope Lock(Best Practice)Rope Hook(Required)Foot Control (Required)
Hoist AnchoragesWhat makes up the hoist anchorage in this example?How can we verify it?
Anchorage VerificationEngineered method incorporates a minimum factor of safety (FOS) of 2.0 for the WLL of all anchorage components. Method also assumes a maximum coefficient of friction of 0.20.Proof load method of 1.5 times the maximum anticipated hoist load.TruckHitch ReceiverCapstan MountTires to Ground
Field Verification Methods Proof Loading and Load Testing All field testing should be done in controlled conditions Monitoring devices help eliminate unknowns during testingDid you know, that during load testing the FOS for synthetic rope may be reduced to 7.0?Example: Typical Use: 11,000 lbs. [MBS] ÷ 10.0 = 1,100 lbs. WLL Testing Only: 11,000 lbs. [MBS] ÷ 7.0 = 1,570 lbs. WLL
Proof Loading Confirms Capabilities Typically involves loading some component beyond 100% of the anticipated load during planned operations. Does not mean beyond 100% WLL for components! Ex. Hoist anchorage proof loading = 1.5 x Load line force applied to anchorage. Used when circumstances or variables may not be predictable.
Load Testing Confirms operation Representative of actual conditions of load during planned operations: 100% of gross load Model load position(s) that result in maximum anticipated lifting system forces Required when utilizing a Capstan hoist per A10.48 Monitoring for deflections, anchorage and capstan control, line rendering.
Load Testing More generally a load test shall include: Raise and lower a load to verify moving parts functionality; Verify deflections under load are within allowances; Once load has been lowered inspect all components and anchorage for proper arrangement and working condition; and Verify supporting structure or individual structure members do not have unacceptable twist, rotation or deflection.
