Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is& 1) Inspect the elevators before use to ensure employees are always selecting and using the appropriately sized elevator for the pipe being lifted; per API RP 54, p.19, Sec.9.7.8. 2) Communicate to employees the policy prohibiting access to the area underneath suspended loads, and enforce the policy through an effective disciplinary program.
