Overhead cranes are suitable for particular repetitive lifting activities. This kind of crane has wide ranging capacities. They may be used for specialized hoisting tasks such as removing or installing major plant machines.
Worker and operators need to employ safe rigging practices to be able to safely operate an overhead crane. This will require both practice and knowledge because the load needs to be correctly rigged to ensure its stability when hoisted. Prior to starting a hoisting job, it should be determined that the crane is suitable for the job, with right travel, lift and capacity. The crane should be subjected to a thorough visual and physical inspection before utilization. The capacity of all machines, including the slings, hardware and rope, must never exceed load weight capacities.
The rigger has to know the correct sling for each and every lift and check slings and other rigging hardware before utilizing. Clear signals should be used in communications with the crane operator. A signaler has to be chosen for the role and signals must be agreed upon. The crane operator needs to follow instructions from the chosen individual only. If a wired or remote controller is being used, the operator must be trained in all its functions.
To ensure the safety of employees, a warning must be issued and the path of the load must be cleared of all hazards before the lift begins. Individuals must not be allowed to walk beneath the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load prior to hoisting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch needs to be closed instantly after sliding the sling entirely onto the lifting hook. Unused sling legs must be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being hoisted. Watch that fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Step clear of the danger zone before the lift is carried out.
