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

In order to safely operate an overhead crane, workers should employ safe rigging practices. This needs both practice and knowledge. The load should be rigged right to be able to ensure its stability when raised. Before starting a lifting job, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the task, with right capacity, travel and lift. The crane must be subjected to a thorough physical and visual check before utilization. The capacity of all equipment, including the rope, slings and hardware, should never exceed load weight capacities.

Prior to utilizing the rigger needs to know which sling is right for every lift and be able to inspect the rigging hardware and gear. The communications that are utilized with the crane operator should be concise and clear. A signaler must be chosen for the role and signals should be agreed upon. The operator of the crane needs to follow instructions only from the chosen individual. If a remote or wired controller is being used, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

Prior to whichever lifting starts, the path of the load must be cleared of all obstructions and a warning sign must be issued to be able to ensure the safety of the employees. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk beneath the lift loads. The crane hoist should be centered over the load before hoisting to prevent swinging. The safety catch should be closed immediately after sliding the sling fully onto the lifting hook. Unused sling legs must be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being lifted. 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 made.
