General Safety Tips for Overhead Crane Training

Before You Move a Load

Make sure that all loose parts, blocking, and packing are removed from the load before any lifting begins
Remove the slack from the sling and hoisting ropes before lifting any load
Ensure the lifting device is seated in the saddle of the hook
Confirm the load is not heavier than the maximum load capacity of the crane

Moving Loads Safely

Crane controls should move smoothly with no abrupt or sudden movements of the load
Only follow signals from the slinger in charge of the lift except a stop signal
Confirm all people are away from the load before hoisting
Always sound a bell, siren or other warning device and start to hoist slowly
Make sure nothing catches on the load while raising or traveling
Keep the load under control when lowering a load

Before Leaving the Crane

Remove any load that may be hanging on crane hooks
Raise any hooks to a mid-height position
Place the crane at its designated location
Prior to closing down the main switch, ensure all controllers are in the ‘off’ position

What to Avoid

Never operate a crane if the limit switches are out of order or if cables show defects
Never lower the blocks below the point where less than two full wraps of cable remain on the drum
Never attempt to lift loads beyond the rated load capacity of a crane
Always centre the crane directly over the load before hoisting
Never allow anyone to ride on a load or hooks
Never leave slings hanging loosely from the load hook. Ensure sling hooks are placed on the sling ring when carrying slings to the load
Never raise loads higher than required to clear objects
Never carry a load over the top of workers
Never reverse the motor until the crane is complete except to avoid an accident
Never leave a suspended load unattended
