Crane and Hoist Model

This policy and set of procedures were created to protect the safety of employees while they are operating or working near a hoist at work. This policy covers what occupational exposures employees may encounter while operating or working near cranes and hoists and how employees will be protected from the exposures while at work. This program also serves to help the employer and its employees comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) respiratory protection requirements as found in 29 CFR 1910.179.
