Check the crane setup and rigging at Bridge crane site, Pittsburgh PA before a lift (2026-07-21)

A crane lift at Bridge crane site, Pittsburgh PA risks power-line contact and tip-over if the setup is wrong. From a safe distance, check outrigger footing, power-line clearance, the barricaded swing zone, and the rigging condition, and route any unsafe lift to the lift director. Standard: OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC — Cranes & Derricks in Construction (§§1926.1400–1442) Proof: photo from a safe distance per checklist section + GPS + Subpart CC checklist + power-line/outrigger/swing-zone/rigging status + tiered findings routed to the lift director Method (OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC (Cranes & Derricks in Construction, §§1926.1400–1442) pre-lift spotter survey — safe-distance observation of setup, clearances, and rigging; documentation only, ~45-90 min): 1. Check in with the lift director / crane operator; confirm scope, don PPE, and confirm you observe-and-document from a safe distance only — you never rig, signal, level, or direct the lift (Subpart CC reserves these for the qualified rigger / signal person / operator). 2. Ground & setup: photograph and document firm/drained/level ground, full outrigger/stabilizer extension with pads/cribbing, and the crane's level indication (§§1926.1402/.1404). 3. Power-line clearance: identify overhead lines and confirm the planned swing/boom keeps the Table A minimum approach distance (default 20 ft for lines ≤350 kV) or that a documented de-energize / encroachment-prevention plan is in place (§1926.1408). 4. Swing radius / crush zone: confirm the area swept by the rotating superstructure (counterweight) is barricaded to keep workers out (§1926.1424). 5. Personnel & rigging: confirm a qualified signal person + an agreed signal method, a qualified rigger, the load chart / rated capacity posted, and slings/shackles/hooks (with safety latches) in serviceable condition per the rigger's inspection (§§1926.1419/.1425/.1428). 6. For each finding, mark the condition against the Subpart CC checklist item, assign a tier (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor), and name the responsible lift director / qualified operator. 7. Enter photos, GPS/address, the checklist, and the tiered findings; sign. Route stop-work items to the lift director / operator with a timestamp — never direct or signal the lift. Equipment: hard hat + safety glasses + hi-vis vest (site PPE), tablet/clipboard with the OSHA Subpart CC pre-lift checklist, camera with zoom (observe from a safe distance), tape measure / measuring wheel (setback and barricade distances from the ground), the crane's load chart / lift plan for reference, flashlight Done when: Ground/outrigger setup (firm/level, full extension, pads/cribbing) photographed and documented; Power-line minimum-approach clearance and swing-radius/crush-zone barricading confirmed and photographed; Qualified signal person + qualified rigger + posted load chart + serviceable rigging (safety latches) documented; Every finding tiered with the lift director / qualified operator named; stop-work items routed with a timestamp

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart CC (Cranes & Derricks in Construction, §§1926.1400–1442) pre-lift spotter survey — safe-distance observation of setup, clearances, and rigging; documentation only

Bring

hard hat + safety glasses + hi-vis vest (site PPE)
tablet/clipboard with the OSHA Subpart CC pre-lift checklist
camera with zoom (observe from a safe distance)
tape measure / measuring wheel (setback and barricade distances from the ground)
the crane's load chart / lift plan for reference
flashlight

Steps

1. Check in with the lift director / crane operator; confirm scope, don PPE, and confirm you observe-and-document from a safe distance only — you never rig, signal, level, or direct the lift (Subpart CC reserves these for the qualified rigger / signal person / operator).
2. Ground & setup: photograph and document firm/drained/level ground, full outrigger/stabilizer extension with pads/cribbing, and the crane's level indication (§§1926.1402/.1404).
3. Power-line clearance: identify overhead lines and confirm the planned swing/boom keeps the Table A minimum approach distance (default 20 ft for lines ≤350 kV) or that a documented de-energize / encroachment-prevention plan is in place (§1926.1408).
4. Swing radius / crush zone: confirm the area swept by the rotating superstructure (counterweight) is barricaded to keep workers out (§1926.1424).
5. Personnel & rigging: confirm a qualified signal person + an agreed signal method, a qualified rigger, the load chart / rated capacity posted, and slings/shackles/hooks (with safety latches) in serviceable condition per the rigger's inspection (§§1926.1419/.1425/.1428).
6. For each finding, mark the condition against the Subpart CC checklist item, assign a tier (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor), and name the responsible lift director / qualified operator.
7. Enter photos, GPS/address, the checklist, and the tiered findings; sign. Route stop-work items to the lift director / operator with a timestamp — never direct or signal the lift.

If it does not match the plan

Planned swing/boom within the Table A minimum approach distance of an energized line (default <20 ft for lines ≤350 kV) with no de-energize/encroachment plan -> STOP-WORK: document, keep clear, route to the lift director; never direct the lift.
Outriggers/stabilizers not fully extended or on inadequate ground/cribbing, or a non-level crane -> STOP-WORK for the lift; route to the qualified operator; never operate or level it yourself.
Swing/crush zone not barricaded, no qualified signal person, or damaged rigging (no safety latch, cut/kinked sling) -> STOP-WORK; keep workers clear; route to the lift director / qualified rigger.
Any rigging, signaling, leveling, or lift direction -> observe-and-document only; the qualified rigger / signal person / operator performs and approves these. Approval and correction stay human.

What counts as done

Ground/outrigger setup (firm/level, full extension, pads/cribbing) photographed and documented
Power-line minimum-approach clearance and swing-radius/crush-zone barricading confirmed and photographed
Qualified signal person + qualified rigger + posted load chart + serviceable rigging (safety latches) documented
Every finding tiered with the lift director / qualified operator named; stop-work items routed with a timestamp

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
