WAC 296-155-53214
Crane decertification and
reinstatement. (1) If any of the following occur, the
certification becomes invalid and must be inspected by an
accredited crane certifier:
(a) Contact with an energized power line;
(b) Any overload, other than proof load testing, or one
that has been approved in writing in advance by the crane
manufacturer or a RPE;
(c) Any significant modifications or significant repairs
of a load sustaining/bearing part that affects the safe
operation of the crane/derrick.
(d) Any deficiency that affects the safe operation of the
crane or derrick that has been identified by a qualified
person or through an inspection by the department of labor and
industries.
Note:
Replacement of hoisting rope does not constitute decertification.
(2) The owner or lessee must notify the crane
certification section by phone, 360-902-4943, or fax
360-902-5438, or e-mail at lnicranes@lni.wa.gov within
twenty-four hours if any of the above occurs.
(3) The certification may be reinstated only after
affected components have been reinspected by an accredited
crane certifier. If the accredited crane certifier identifies
any deficiencies during the reinspection, the deficiencies
must be corrected before the certification can be reinstated.
If the accredited crane certifier believes proof load testing
should be conducted prior to reinstatement of the
certification, proof load testing must be conducted.
In the case of major modifications or repairs to important
load sustaining/bearing parts, proof load testing must be performed prior to reinstatement. The accredited
crane certifier must notify the department that the
certification has been reinstated.
