Steps

  1. Fetch current 29 CFR 1926.1413 text from osha.gov
  2. Check for structural distortion (kinking, birdcaging, crushing, core protrusion) — any of these requires immediate removal from service, no broken-wire count needed
  3. Count randomly distributed broken wires: six in one rope lay, or three in one strand in one rope lay, triggers removal
  4. Evaluate diameter reduction from nominal and cross-reference against the rope manufacturer's and ASME B30.5 criteria as a supplement to the OSHA threshold
  5. Have a qualified person make the final safety-hazard determination and document the disposition before returning equipment to service
