Conveyor and Boom Truck Rooftop Delivery Safety Inspection

Pre-delivery jobsite inspection for rooftop conveyor and boom truck deliveries, covering power-line clearance, ground bearing capacity, outrigger setup, access path conditions, and rooftop delivery controls.

Inspection Setup and Jobsite Coordination

• Delivery location, roof access point, and equipment type confirmed
  Verify the planned rooftop delivery point, access route, and whether the operation uses a boom truck, conveyor truck, or both.
• Competent person or designated site contact present
  A competent person or authorized site representative is available to coordinate hazards, access, and exclusion zones.
• Weather conditions acceptable for rooftop delivery
  Wind, precipitation, lightning, and visibility are suitable for safe delivery and equipment positioning.
• Exclusion zone established around delivery area
  Barricades, cones, or spotters are in place to keep unauthorized personnel out of the drop zone and swing path.

Overhead Power-Line Clearance

• No energized power lines within the minimum approach distance for planned equipment movement
  Equipment, load path, and rooftop landing area maintain safe clearance from overhead electrical conductors per OSHA 1926.1408.
• Power-line voltage and clearance requirement identified
  The line voltage category and corresponding clearance requirement have been identified before setup.
• Measured clearance from equipment path to nearest power line
  Record the shortest measured distance between the planned equipment path and the nearest overhead line.
• Utility coordination or line de-energization confirmed when required
  If the job requires work near power lines, utility notification, line guarding, or de-energization has been confirmed.

Ground Bearing and Outrigger Setup

• Ground surface is stable, level, and capable of supporting the load
  The setup area is free of voids, soft soil, underground hazards, or slope conditions that could compromise stability.
• Outrigger pads or cribbing installed and properly sized
  Pads, mats, or cribbing are in place under each outrigger as required by site conditions and equipment load.
• All outriggers fully extended and locked in position
  Outriggers are deployed according to the manufacturer’s setup requirements and secured before boom or conveyor movement.
• Truck level verified within acceptable operating limits
  Record the truck’s slope or level condition after setup.

Boom, Conveyor, and Load Path Condition

• Boom, conveyor, and structural components free of visible damage
  No cracks, deformation, missing guards, hydraulic leaks, or other visible defects are present on the delivery equipment.
• Load path to rooftop is free of obstructions
  The path from truck to roof landing area is clear of trees, scaffolds, antennas, HVAC units, and other obstructions.
• Load is secured and within equipment capacity
  Material weight, bundle configuration, and handling method are within the rated capacity of the truck and delivery system.
• Spotter assigned for blind areas and rooftop interface
  A trained spotter is assigned where the operator cannot maintain full visibility of the boom, conveyor, or landing zone.

Rooftop Access and Fall Protection Controls

• Roof access route is clear and structurally safe
  Access ladders, stairs, hatches, and roof walkways are unobstructed and in safe condition.
• Roof edge protection or fall arrest system in place where required
  Guardrails, warning lines, or personal fall arrest systems are installed as required by site conditions and fall exposure.
• Roof landing area clear of skylights, fragile surfaces, and edge hazards
  The material landing area is free of openings, skylights, brittle surfaces, and other fall-through hazards.
