Among other methods, several feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct each of these hazards are to: 1.Adjust and/or repair upper limit switches to prevent the load block from passing the safe upper limit of travel. 2.Prior to installation and use, ensure the supporting structure (jib) is designed to withstand the loads and forces imposed by the hoist for the rated load. 3.Conduct frequent and periodic inspections in accordance with ANSI B30.16-1987, Chapter 16-2. b)On or about 4/8/98, the following below-the-hook lifting devices had no rated load markings, and no inspections performed, including, but not limited to various manmade devices used at each of the Boring Mills B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-7, B-8, B-9, etc. and at various other locations within the facility. Among other methods, several feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct each of these hazards are to: 1.Rate and mark the load capacity of the lifting device on the main structure or equivalent. 2.Conduct frequent and periodic inspections of the lifting devices in accordance with ASME B30.20-1993, Chapter 20-1. Abatement certification is required for these items.
