GENERAL SAFETY TIPS


CRANE OPERATIONS - GENERAL SAFETY TIPS

Crane Operations are critical in nature and required special attention always, here you will find some basic safety tips that will help for the safe operation.

During hoisting sudden acceleration or deceleration of the moving load not to be done.

When hoisting make sure the load does not come in contact with any obstructions primarily electrical. While operating crane it should be ensured that the high tension power line is dead/ safe working distance maintained as per voltage level.

FORKLIFT SAFETY

Cranes should not be used for side pulls.

At all times the operator must avoid carrying loads over people. Positive barricading with display board shall be provided around the crane & unauthorized entry shall be restricted inside barricading.

The load must not be lowered below the point where less than three full wraps of rope remain on the hoisting drum.

Make sure hook have safety latch. The load is well balanced.  Avoid tip loading, and loading on hook latch.

Never lift the load over the rated capacity (refer load chart only to decide Safe Working Load)

Do not operate with kinked, twisted or damaged rope.

Scaffold : Over Head Hazard

Never leave the suspended load unattended. If it is required because of any failure, high wind condition or specific requirement by plant, additional support under all four outriggers shall be applied. Support below the suspended load also to be provided if possible.

Holding brakes on hoists shall be applied automatically when power is removed 

A drag brake (a brake which provides retarding force without external control) may be applied to hold the trolley in a desired position on the bridge and to eliminate creep with the power off

If a load is supported by more than one part of rope, the tension in the parts shall be equalized.

Hooks shall meet the manufacturer's recommendations and shall not be

over loaded. Hook testing shall be carried out every year with annual inspection of crane.

Major Industrial Accident Documentary Case Study

Sufficient barricading around crane shall be made to protect people working near mobile crane.

Before slewing operation check clearance for counter weight.

Crane operator should strictly follow the instructions/signals given by  site supervisor on job.

Special permission to be obtained from site incharge after considering following guidelines for travelling with suspended load.
