The equipment covered by the B30 Standard is subject to hazards that cannot be abat-
ed by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common
sense. It is therefore essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of
equipment who are competent, careful, physically and mentally qualified, and trained
in the proper operation of the equipment and the handling of loads. Serious hazards
include, but are not limited to, improper or inadequate maintenance, overloading,
dropping or slipping of the load, obstructing the free passage of the load, and using
equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended or designed.
