Mobile Cranes
- The Virginia Tech/Montgomery Executive Airport shall be notified as soon as possible when work activities will involve the use of a mobile crane on campus. A "Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration" may be required to be submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which can take up to 45 days for approval. Forms are available at faa.gov.
- Contractors shall provide copies of their annual and monthly crane inspections to Environmental Health & Safety upon request.
- Contractors shall ensure that the crane, swing radius, and load path is properly barricaded to prevent personnel from being struck or crushed by the crane or the load.
- Where loads will be raised over occupied buildings and the weight of the load could pierce the building envelope if it were dropped, the project manager shall coordinate temporary removal of personnel directly beneath the load during lifting operations.
