- Crane experts explain major updates in ASME B30.2-2022, including new requirements for rail sweeps, signal persons, and medical evaluations.
Major changes in the latest version of the ASME B30.2 Overhead and Gantry Cranes safety standard took effect in 2023, bringing new requirements and guidance.
In this episode, Tad Dunville and Bobby Hamilton from the ASME B30.2 Overhead and Gantry Cranes committee help interpret key updates for owners and operators.
"So this guy was calling me 'cause he had just purchased the new 2022 Standard. And he's like, "Man, trolley rail sweeps, it says, 'shall.' " And he is like, "Do you realize I've got dozens and dozens of cranes in here that don't have trolley rail sweeps? And now I'm seeing the standard and it says they shall be included. So does that mean I got to put these rail sweeps in?"
• Hear a breakdown of significant new rules around rail sweeps, signal persons, medical evaluations, and more
• Get their advice on smart steps when changes seem challenging or expensive to implement
• Learn why staying up-to-date on standards reduces liability and improves productivity
• Discover resources like crane OEMs and service companies available to help interpret gray areas
If you operate overhead cranes, this Safety Factor episode delivers critical insights on the new ASME B30.2 Overhead and Gantry Cranes rules to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.

Excellent update and yes, not many companies have such crane experts in their staff.
Well done
Is it possible for You guys, to have an OVH Crane Inspector Requirements Webinar or something like it?
We will be doing a podcast on this subject in the future. Bobby Hamilton is also responsible for our overhead crane inspectors' training program. At Mazzella, we recommend going to a third-party company that specializes in overhead crane inspections, as the inspectors inspect cranes every day, are fluent in the regulations, and can provide you with a detailed report as well as documentation. If you are looking into what makes an overhead crane inspection OSHA compliant, we have several articles and videos on this subject in our learning center. This should get you started.

Thanks for the positivity!
Please advise on the following: When replacing wire rope from an OVH Crane, which removal criteria shall I use: ASME B30.2 :2022 or B30.30: 2019?
I reached out to Bobby Hamilton to get an answer for you. This is what he had to say.
ASME B30.2-2022 and B30.30-2019 are both great general consensus standards to use as reference. OSHA 1910.179 covers only double girder top running or similar equipment, not single girders, monorails, jibs, etc., we will talk about this more below. Only the design specifications of B30.2-2022 are incorporated by reference (IBR) to OSHA 1910.179 (see 1910.6(e)(19)). B30.30 is not IBR and OSHA could reference B30.30 as a “feasible and acceptable means of abatement…”
I would follow OSHA 1910.179(m)(1): (if your crane is a double girder top running)
1910.179(m)(1)(i)
Reduction of rope diameter below nominal diameter due to loss of core support, internal or external corrosion, or wear of outside wires.
1910.179(m)(1)(ii)
A number of broken outside wires and the degree of distribution or concentration of such broken wires. (more than 1 broken wire, we have seen citations where 2 broken wires are a violation)
1910.179(m)(1)(iii)
Worn outside wires.
1910.179(m)(1)(iv)
Corroded or broken wires at end connections.
1910.179(m)(1)(v)
Corroded, cracked, bent, worn, or improperly applied end connections.
1910.179(m)(1)(vi)
Severe kinking, crushing, cutting, or unstranding.
OSHA does not clearly state what the acceptable reduction of rope diameter is, nor do they clearly state what “worn outside wires” means. To answer these questions, we can reference B30.30.
B30.30-1.8.2(a) Measure the rope diameter in numerous locations to assess loss of diameter along the entire length of rope. Removal criteria include a reduction from the nominal diameter greater than 5% at any location.
This standard, developed by industry leading rope experts, defines the reduction of rope diameter that OSHA does not clearly define. However OSHA will still cite 1910.179(m)(1)(i) for a violation.
If your crane is anything other than a double girder top running, OSHA will use the general duty clause, GDC(5)(a)(1) and then could reference any ASME standard. Example: a single girder under running crane with hoist rope damage, a kink. They could use GDC(5)(a)(1) and reference ASME B30.30-1.8.1(b)(2)(-a)distortion to the uniform structure of the rope.
So to summarize, follow OSHA 1910.179 for double girder top running. All other equipment falls under GDC and then reference the applicable ASME standard. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please reach out.
hello guys. i got tired from looking for ASMI B30 standers update. i have 2016 version. i dont have financial ability to get the update of it.. please any advise for getting ASMI B30 update 2022. kind regards/.,
One way is by subscribing to this channel. We have done several update videos to let you know what is new. The second is to reach out to your crane company to discuss the changes and updates made with them. If your crane company can't help, then reach out to Mazzella. We have many experts who would love to talk cranes with you, but if you are an owner and operator of overhead cranes, for the safety of your workers, I highly recommend you invest the money into purchasing the standard.
