Purpose
TJNAF recognizes that safe operation of material handling equipment (MHE) depends on the skills of the operator and the condition of the equipment. The Material Handling Equipment Program (MHEP) includes minimum requirements for training; inspection and maintenance; procurement; and, access to this type of equipment to ensure safe operation.
This Program is based on DOE-STD-1090: Hoisting and Rigging Standard (Formerly Hoisting and Rigging Manual), and other standards contained in Chapter 2410, Appendix T1: Hazard Issues List.

Scope
This chapter and its associated appendices apply to powered industrial vehicles such as fork lifts; overhead and mobile cranes; and, rigging equipment owned by, or operated on behalf of, TJNAF. Training and operation requirements apply to everyone at Jefferson Lab.
Note: Unauthorized use of material handling equipment results in disciplinary action in accordance with Administrative Manual - 212 Voluntary and Involuntary Separations. |

· when using material handling equipment to conduct Jefferson Lab business at another facility:
o review the facility’s appropriate material handling equipment policies and procedures
o follow the more stringent safety procedures
3.4
Procurement
Department
Ensure
· MHM approves purchase requisitions for material handling equipment, associated attachments, and equipment
· material handling safety requirements are included in subcontract document when identified
· compliance with DOE-STD 1090 Guidelines prior to purchasing material handling equipment
3.5
Occupational
Medicine
Evaluate qualified operators in accordance with Chapter 6800, Occupational Medicine for meeting the physical and visual requirements to safely operate material handling equipment (MED01, Medical Monitoring for Hazardous Work).
4.0 Expectations
4.1 Training
TJNAF requires material handling operators be approved by their supervisor or TR as well as trained and/or approved by the MHM in proper operation of the machines and associated equipment they will use. Chapter 6140, Appendix T1: Training Requirements for Material Handling Equipment provides the general training requirements for all material handling equipment owned or used on behalf of Jefferson Lab
4.2
Procurement
Purchases,
leases, and related repair and maintenance services for material handling
equipment (including forklifts, cranes, hoists, attachments, contracted
equipment, subcontracted services) must
follow the procedure in Chapter 6140, Appendix T2:
Procurement of Material Handling Equipment.
4.3 Inspection and Maintenance
Appropriate Lab personnel routinely inspect and
maintain the material handling equipment used on its behalf. Chapter 6140, Appendix T3:
Inspection and Maintenance Procedure for Material Handling Equipment contains the procedure for this requirement. Inspection
and maintenance activities are based on Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers national
standards.
4.4 Access Restrictions
Access to material handling equipment is controlled through the use of engineered and/or administrative controls (e.g., key box and/or group leaders). The MHM authorizes access to specific equipment by qualified operators who have completed the required training in accordance with Chapter 6140, Appendix T4: Access Restrictions to Material Handling Equipment.
