Steps

  1. Fetch 29 CFR 1926.1436 text from osha.gov, confirming the regulatory definition of a derrick (powered equipment with a mast/member held by guys or braces, with or without a boom, plus hoisting mechanism)
  2. Confirm derricks are subject to the general inspection requirements of 1926.1412 in addition to derrick-specific provisions in 1926.1436
  3. Confirm new or reinstalled derricks require load testing by a competent person at 100-110% of rated capacity (unless manufacturer/qualified person specifies otherwise), with the documented test retained until re-test or dismantlement
  4. Confirm repairs/modifications affecting capacity or safe operation require a qualified person's evaluation of whether a new load test is necessary
  5. Distinguish derrick-specific load-testing/documentation triggers from the crane inspection categories used elsewhere in Subpart CC, since derricks have their own supplemental subsection
