1.0
Purpose
Jefferson Lab recognizes that safe operation of material handling equipment depends on the skills of the operator and the condition of the equipment. This Material Handling Equipment Program includes minimum requirements for training; inspection and maintenance, procurement, and access to this type of equipment to ensure safe operation.
Jefferson Lab bases this program on DOE-STD-1090-2011: Hoisting and Rigging Standard (Formerly Hoisting and Rigging Manual) and other standards contained in the ES&H Manual 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 or operated on behalf of Jefferson Lab. Training and operation requirements apply to everyone at Jefferson Lab.
NOTE: Unauthorized use of material handling equipment at Jefferson Lab results in disciplinary action in accordance with Administrative Manual - 212 Voluntary and Involuntary Separations. |

3.2.1 SOTR also:
· Inform subcontractors that material handling equipment and associated attachments/equipment, brought on site, are inspected by Jefferson Lab’s MHSR prior to commencement of work.
· Ensure subcontractor’s operators are adequately trained and qualified minimally to Jefferson Lab requirements. Refer to ES&H Manual Chapter 6141 Material Handling Equipment – Rigging, Cranes, and Hoists and/or ES&H Manual Chapter 6145 Material Handling Equipment – Forklifts and Attachments.
· Notify the MHM when subcontractors bring material handling equipment on site and coordinates inspections.
· Notify the MHM and coordinate critical lifts.
· Contact the MHM well in advance if a use of a forklift attachment is required by a subcontractor.

3.5
Occupational
Medicine
· Evaluate qualified operators in accordance with ES&H Manual Chapter 6800 Occupational Medicine to meet the physical and visual requirements to safely operate material handling equipment (MED01 Medical Monitoring for Hazardous Work).
4.0 Expectations
4.1 Training Requirements
Jefferson Lab requires material handling operators to be approved by their supervisor/SOTR and trained and/or approved by the MHM in the proper operation of the machines and associated equipment. ES&H Manual 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 Requirements
Jefferson Lab requires that procurements, leases, and related
repair and maintenance services for material handling equipment (including forklifts,
cranes, hoists, attachments, contracted equipment, subcontracted services) follow
the procedure provided in ES&H Manual Chapter
6140 Appendix T2 Procurement of Material Handling Equipment.
4.3 Inspection and Maintenance
Jefferson Lab routinely
inspects and maintains the material handling equipment used on its behalf. ES&H Manual Chapter
6140 Appendix T3 Inspection and Maintenance Procedure for Material Handling
Equipment provides 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 (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 ES&H Manual Chapter 6140 Appendix T4 Access Restriction to Material Handling Equipment.
