The overhead crane has been built to be used performing repetitive lifting activities. This type of crane could be utilized in numerous capacities. They could be utilized for specialized hoisting tasks like for example removing or installing major plant equipment.

Operators and worker have to employ safe rigging practices in order to safely operate an overhead crane. This will require both practice and knowledge as the load has to be properly rigged to ensure its stability when raised. Before beginning a hoisting job, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the task, with appropriate travel, lift and capacity. The crane has to be subjected to a thorough physical and visual check before use. The capacity of all equipment, including the slings, hardware and rope, should never go beyond load weight capacities.

The rigger should know the correct sling for every lift and inspect slings and other rigging hardware before using. Clear signals should be utilized in communications with the crane operator. A signaler needs to be designated for the role and signals must be agreed upon. The crane operator should follow directions from the chosen person only. If a remote or wired controller is being used, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

Prior to whichever lifting begins, the path of the load should be cleared of all hazards and a warning sign should be issued to guarantee the safety of the staff. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk under the lift loads. The crane hoist should be centered over the load prior to hoisting to prevent swinging. The safety catch should be closed instantly after sliding the sling entirely onto the lifting hook. Unused sling legs should be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being hoisted. Watch that hands and fingers are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Step clear of the danger zone before the lift is carried out.
