ThisStandard had its beginning in December 1916 when an eight-page Code of Safety Standards for Cranes, prepared by the ASME Committee on the Protection of Industrial Workers, was presented at 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 ron nd Stee Electrical Engineers, the American Museum of Safety, the American Engineering Standards Committee (AESC) [later changed to the American Standards Association {ASA), then to the United States of America Standards Institute (USASD, and finaly to ANSI), Departmentof Labor — State Of New Jersey, Department of Labor and Industry — State of Pennsylvania, and the Locomotive Crane Manufacturers ‘Association. On June 11, 1925, AESC approved the ASME Safety Code Correlating Committee's recommendation and ‘authorized the project with the U.S. Department of 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 or organization ofthis Sectional Commitzee was sent out October 2,1926, and the committee organized November 4, ‘1926, with 87 members representing 29 national organizations. Commencing june 1, 1927, and using the eight-page code published by ASME in 1916 as a basis, the Sectional Committee developed the "Safety Code for Cranes, Derricks, and Hoists? The early drafts ofthis safety code included requirements for jacks but, due to inputs and comments on those rats, the ectional Committee decided in 1938 to make the requirements for jacks a separate code. In janary 1943,ASA '830.2-1943 was published addressing a multitude of equipment types and in August 1943, ASA B30.1-1943 was published addressing just jacks. Both documents were reaffirmed in 1952 and widely accepted as safety standards. ‘ue to changesin design, advancementin techniques, and genera interest of labor and industry in safety the Sectional Committee, underthejointsponsorship of ASME and the Bureau of ards and Docks (now the Naval Facilities Engineering Command), was reorganized on January 31, 1962, with 39 members representing 27 national organizations. The new ‘committee changed the format of ASA 830.2-1943 so that the multitude of equipment types it addressed could be published in separate volumes that could completely cover the construction, installation, inspection, testing, mainte- hance, and operation ofeach type of equipment that was included inthe scope of ASA B30.2. This format change resulted in the initial publication of B30.3, 830.5, 830.6, 830.11, and B30.16 being designated as “Revisions” of B30.2 with the ‘remainder ofthe B30 volumes being published a totally new volumes. ASA changed its nameto USASTin 1966andtoANS! in 1969, which resulted in H30 volumes from 1943 to 1968 being designated as "ASA B30” “USAS B30" or “ANSI B30” ‘depending on their date of publication, in 1982, the committee was reorganized as an Accredited Organization Committee operating under procedures devel- oped by ASME and accredited by ANSI. Tis 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 inspect equipment falling within its scope. The suggestions leading to accident prevention are given as both mandatory and ‘dvisory provisions; compliance with both types may he required by employers of their employees. Tncase of practical difficulties, new developments, or unnecessary hardship, the administrative or regulatory authority may grant variances from the literal requirements or permitthe use of other devices or methods, butonly when tis dearly tvident 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 accordance 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 committee consideration of factors suchas technological advances, new data, nd changingenvironmental and industry needs. Revisions donotimply that previous editions were inadequate. "The ASME B30.5-2007 edition added responsibilities to be assigned in the worksite organization. The 2011 edition included minor revisions and the addition of Nonmandatory Appendix A on critical lifts. The 2014 edition incorporated ‘many global 30 changes including the addition of personnel competence and translation requirements as well as other revisions made throughout the document, This 2016 edition revises the Crane Operation in the Vicinity of Electric Power Lines section entirely, adds a new section on Rigger Responsibilities, and incorporates other miscellaneous revisions, "This edition of the 830.5 Volume was approved by the B30 Committee and by ASME, and was approved by ANSI and designated as an American National Standard on june 12, 2018,ASME B30 COMMITTEE Safety Standard for Cableways, Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks, and Slings (ve following is the roster of the Carnie a he tne of approval of tis Standor) STANDARDS COMMITTEE OFFICERS 7.1.

The scope includes only cranes of the above types that are basically powered by internal combustion engines or electric motors. ide ‘boom tractors and cranes designed for ralway and auto- mobile wreck clearance, digger derrieks, cranes maniifac- tured specifically for, or when used for, energized electrical line service, kauckle boom, trolley boom cranes, and cranes having a maximum rated capacity of 1 ton of less are excluded. Special adaptions to the general types of machines covered by this Volume, where applicable, fall under this scope. ‘Some baste machine types within this scope are used alternatively for lifting service and for applications not Considered to be lifting service. All of the requirements of this Volume are applicable to such machines when used for lifting service. However, at a minimum, Section S-L.11, Chapter 5-2, and Section 5-3.1 of this Volume apply to machines when used in other than lifting service.
