Confirm the OSHA operational limits that apply while a crane is lifting a load, including rated-capacity limits and the brake test required near maximum line pull.

Steps
Pull 1926.1417 from osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926.1417.
Confirm the equipment must not be operated in excess of its rated capacity for the configuration in use.
Identify the brake-test requirement: each time a load that is 90% or more of the maximum line pull is handled, the operator must test the brakes by lifting the load a few inches and holding it.
Cross-reference any deficiency found during this operational check back to the each-shift inspection deficiency-handling process in 1926.1412(d)(2).
Review the full paragraph list (tag lines, multiple-lift rigging, holding a load with a load-sensing device off, etc.) since 1926.1417 covers several distinct operational restrictions beyond the brake test.
Known gotchas
The 90%-of-line-pull brake test is a specific numeric trigger in the regulation text — don't confuse it with the 75%-of-rated-capacity 'critical lift' threshold, which comes from an entirely different subpart (1926.751, Steel Erection).
1926.1417 governs day-to-day operating practice; it does not itself require a written lift plan — that requirement (for multi-crane lifts specifically) lives in 1926.1432.
