NASA GPR 8834.1 REV A

Abstract

<strong>PURPOSE</strong> <br>The purpose of this GPR is to define the process, requirements, and responsibilities for conducting safe lifting operations at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). <br><strong>APPLICABILITY</strong> <br>This directive is applicable to all operations associated with Lifting Devices and Equipment (LDE), including rented or leased LDE, at Greenbelt, Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), and other areas under GSFC cognizance unless specifically excluded by this directive. It also applies to institutional lifts and manual lifts. <br>This directive does not apply to tenants and their contract personnel operating in facilities exclusively used for non-NASA operations and controlled by the tenant under a Center-level agreement. <br>This directive does not apply to contractor lifting operations on-site using contractor-provided LDE which are exclusively associated with facility or equipment repair, maintenance, modification, installation, removal, or construction activities, unless documented in relevant contracts. When there is risk to NASA personnel, facilities, or equipment, procuring organizations shall require the contractor to submit a safety plan that describes the lifting operations and procedures, the OSHA standards to be followed, and other special analyses or safeguards needed. Procuring organizations shall ensure the approved safety plan becomes part of the contract.
