This Standard had its beginning in December 1916 when an eight-page Code of Safety Standards for Cranes, prepared by an ASME Conunittee on the Protection of Industrial Workers, was presented to the annual meeting of ASME. Meetings and discussions regarding safety on cranes, derricks, and hoists were held from 1920 to 1925, involving the ASME Safety Code Correlating Committee, the Association of Iron and Stee! Electrical Engineers, the American Museum of Safety, the American Engineering Standards Committee (later changed to American Standards Association and subsequently to the USA. Standards Institute), Department of Labor — State of New Jersey, Department of Labor and Industry — State of Pennsylvania, and the Locomotive Crane Manufacturers Association. On June 11, 1925, the American Engineering Standards Committee approved the ASME Safety Code Correlating Committee's recommendation and authorized the project, with the US. Department 6 the Navy, Bureau of Yards and Docks, and ASME as sponsors. In March 1926, invitations were issued to 50 organizations to appoint representatives to a Sectional Committee. The call for organization of this Sectional Committee was sent out October 2,1926, and the committee organized November 4,1926, with57 members representing 29 national ‘organizations. The Safety Code for Cranes, Derricks, and Hoists, ASA. 8302-1943, was created from the eight-page document referred to in the first paragraph. This document was reaffirmed in 1952 and widely accepted as a safety standard. ‘Due to changes in design, advancementin techniques, and general interest of labor and industry in safety, the Sectional Committee, under the joint sponsorship of ASME and the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, U.S. Department of the Navy, was reorganized as an American National Standards Committee on January 31, 1962, with 39 members representing 27 national organizations. ‘The format of the previous code was changed s0 that separate standards (each complete as to construction and installation; inspection, testing, and maintenance; and operation) would cover the different types of equipment included in the scape of B30. 1m 1982, the Committee was reorganized as an Accredited Organization Committee, operating, under procedures developed by ASME and accredited by ANSI ‘This Standard presents a coordinated set of rules that may serve as a guide to government and other regulatory bodies and municipal authorities responsible for the guarding and inspection of the equipment falling within its scope, The suggestions leading to accident prevention are given both as mandatory and advisory provisions; compliance with both types may be requized by employers of their employees. In case of practical difficulties, new developments, or unnecessary hatdship, the administrative ot regulatory authority may grant variances from the literal requirements or permit the use of ‘other devices or methods, but only when it is clearly evident that an equivalent degree of protection is thereby secured. To secure uniform application and interpretation of this Standard, administrative or regulatory authorities are urged to consult the B30 Committee, in accontance with the format described in Section IX of the B30 Standard Introduction, before rendering decisions on disputed points Safety codes and standards are intended to enhance public safety. Revisions result from commit- {ee consideration of factors such as technological advances, new data, and changing environmental and industry needs. Revisions do not imply that previous editions were inadequate. ‘This 2009 revision of this Volume of the Standard was reformatted for greater clarity and has been rewritten in its entity. It was approved by the B30 Committee and by ASME, and was approved by ANSI and designated as an American National Standard on November 13, 2009.
