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.
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.
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.
