Hoisting and Rigging

The Office of Health, Safety and Security is responsible for the development and maintenance of guidance and standards addressing the safety of hoisting and rigging activities at DOE sites. These efforts are undertaken with the assistance of the DOE Hoisting and Rigging Technical Advisory Committee, a topical committee chartered under the DOE Technical Standards Program. The primary guidance developed by this committee is the DOE Hoisting and Rigging Standard, DOE-STD-1090. It is revised every three years to address changes in source documents (OSHA and national consensus standards) as well as DOE operational experience.
