Inspect rigging equipment for material handling prior to use on each shift <br />and as necessary during its use to ensure that it is safe. Remove defective <br />rigging equipment from service. <br />• Never load rigging equipment in excess of its recommended safe working <br />load. <br />• Remove rigging equipment when not in use from the immediate work area <br />so as not to present a hazard to employees. <br />• Mark special rigging accessories (i.e., spreader bars, grabs, hooks, clamps, <br />etc.) or other lifting accessories with the rated capacity. Proof test all <br />components to 125% of the rated load prior to the first use. Maintain <br />permanent records on the job site for all special rigging accessories. <br />Disposal of waste materials: <br />• Whenever materials are dropped more than 20 feet to any point lying outside <br />the exterior walls of the building, use an enclosed chute of wood or <br />equivalent material. <br />When debris is dropped without the use of chutes, make sure that the area <br />onto which the material is dropped is completely enclosed with barricades at <br />least 42 inches high and 20 feet back from the projected edge of the opening <br />above. Post at each level warning signs of the hazard of falling materials. <br />Do not remove debris in this lower area until debris handling ceases above. <br />• Remove all scrap lumber, waste material, and rubbish from the immediate <br />work area as the work progresses. <br />
