SECTION 14-0.1: SCOPE OF B30.14
Volume B30.14 includes provisions that apply to theconstruction, installation, operation, inspection, testingand maintenance of side boom tractors powered by aninternal combustion engine used for pipe laying or lifting operations, utilizing a lifting boom, drum, wire ropeand/or hydraulic cylinders.
The requirements for a side boom tractor that is usedfor other than lifting operations such as when convertedfor excavating work, and a side boom tractor with arated load of one ton or less, are not included in thisVolume.
SECTION 14-0.2: DEFINITIONS
accessory: a secondary part or assembly of parts thatcontributes to the effectiveness of a machine.
administrative or regulatory authority: governmentalagency or the employer in the absence of governmentaljurisdiction.
