overhead crane operation safety rules
- Do not carry anything in your hands when going up and down ladders. Items that are too large to go into pockets or belts should be lifted to or lowered from the crane by rope.
- Do not operate a crane if limit switches are out of order, or if cables show defects.
- Do not lower the blocks below the point where less than two full wraps of cable remain on the drum.
- Do not attempt lifts beyond the rated load capacity of a crane or slings.
- Do not lift a load from the side. Centre the crane directly over the load before hoisting to avoid swinging the load.
- Do not allow anyone to ride on a load or hooks.
- Do not leave slings dangling from the load hook. Have sling hooks placed on the sling ring when carrying slings to the load.
- Do not raise loads higher than necessary to clear objects.
- Do not move or pass a load over workers.
- Do not reverse a motor until it has come to a full stop except to avoid accidents.
- Do not walk on the crane runway.
- Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
