Planned clarifications include certification and qualification for forklift operators who lift suspended loads, lift director qualifications, and proof load testing and certification.
Investigators found no risk assessment, lift plan or worker instructions for a regular loading task, and safer ways to secure or lift the load went unused.
A state investigation identified an overloaded crane, inadequate operator training and a lack of equipment inspections as contributing factors in the fatal lifting incident.
The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association launched a hands-on testing option to give workers an alternative to multiple-choice exams.
