Steps
Confirm current edition via asme.org's B30.16 page — B30.16-2022 (issued May 6, 2022) was current at time of research; a next edition was slated for 2027, so re-verify before citing
Fetch B30.16 scope: overhead underhung and stationary hoists
Apply the standard's construction, inspection, testing, and maintenance provisions to the hoist under inspection
Coordinate hoist inspection findings with any overhead crane bridge/trolley inspection performed under B30.2 or B30.17, since hoists are typically inspected as part of a larger crane system
Document inspection category (frequent vs. periodic, consistent with the underlying general-industry OSHA 1910.179 scheme where applicable) and retain records per the customer's or jurisdiction's retention rule
Known gotchas
B30.16 is a voluntary consensus standard — binding force depends on incorporation by regulation, state plan, or contract; do not present it as self-executing law
Confirm the hoist type (underhung/stationary vs. top-running trolley hoist under B30.2, or monorail-mounted under B30.17) before applying B30.16, since overlapping B30 volumes cover different hoist configurations
