(e) ensuring that the area for the LHE is adequately prepared. The preparation includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(1) access for the LHE and associated equipment
(2) sufficient room to assemble and disassemble the LHE
(3) an operating area that is suitable for the LHE with respect to levelness, surface conditions, support capability, proximity to power lines, excavations, slopes, underground utilities, subsurface construction, and obstructions to LHE operation
(4) traffic control as necessary to restrict unauthorized access to the IHE’s working area
f) ensuring that work involving the assembly and disassembly of LHE is supervised by a qualified person
(g) ensuring that operators meet the physical, knowledge, and skill requirements of the LHE’s applicable chapter
(Ii) ensuring that conditions that may adversely affect LHE operations are addressed. Such conditions include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) poor soil or support conditions
(2) wind velocity or gusting winds
(3) weather conditions
(4) extreme temperatures
(5) inadequate lighting
(6) operating surface conditions
(7) excessive noise
(8) proximity to energized sources (e.g., power lines, pressurized lines)
(I) ensuring that work performed by the rigging crew is supervised by a qualified person
Q) ensuring that LHE maintenance is performed by a designated person
1-0.4.2.2 The LHE Director’s responsibilities shall include the following:
(a) being present at the jobsite during LHE operations.
(b) stopping LEIE operations if alerted to an unsafe condition affecting those operations.
(c) ensuring that the preparation of the area needed to support LHE operations has been completed before LHE operations commence.
(d) ensuring necessary traffic controls are in place to restrict unauthorized access to the LHE’s work area.
(e) ensuring that personnel involved in LHE operations understand their responsibilities, assigned duties, and the associated hazards.
f) addressing safety concerns raised by the LHE Operator or other personnel and being responsible if he decides to overrule those concerns and directs LHE operations to continue. En all cases, the manufacturer’s criteria for safe operation and the requirements of this Volume shall be followed.

Whenever the LHE Operator has doubt as to the safety of LHE operations, the LHE Operator shall stop the LHE’s functions in a controlled manner. LHE operations shall resume only after safety concerns have been addressed and the continuation of the operation is directed by the LHE Director.
The LHE Operator’s responsibilities shall include the following:
(a) reviewing the requirements for the LHE with the LHE Director before LHE operations.
(b) knowing what types of site conditions could adversely affect the operation of the LHE and consulting with the LHE Director concerning the possible presence of those conditions.
(c) understanding and applying the information contained in the IHE manufacturer’s operating manual.
(d) understanding the LHE’s functions and limitations as well as its particular operating characteristics.
(e) using the LHE’s load/capacity chart(s) and diagrams and applying all notes and warnings related to the charts to confirm the correct LHE configuration to suit the load, site, and load handling conditions.
f) refusing to operate the LHE when any portion of the load or LHE could be adversely affected by proximity to energized sources until evaluated and approved by a qualified person.
(g) performing inspections as specified in the applicable chapter.
(Ii) promptly reporting the need for any adjustments or repairs.
(I) following applicable lock out/tag out procedures.
