The overhead crane has been built to be used performing repetitive lifting activities. This particular kind of crane can be used in numerous capacities. They can be utilized for specialized lifting jobs like removing or installing major plant equipment.

In order to safely operate an overhead crane, employees should employ safe rigging practices. This requires both knowledge and practice. The load must be rigged properly to ensure its stability when raised. Before starting a hoisting task, it must be determined that the crane is right for the task, with appropriate lift, capacity and travel. 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, must never go over load weight capacities.

Before utilizing the rigger must know what sling is best for each lift and be able to inspect the rigging hardware and gear. The communications which are utilized with the crane operator must be concise and clear. A signaler should be designated for the role and signals should be agreed upon. The crane operator has to follow instructions from the chosen person only. If a wired or remote controller is being used, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

Before whatever lifting starts, the path of the load should be cleared of all obstacles and a warning sign must be issued to be able to ensure the safety of the personnel. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk beneath the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load before lifting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed immediately after sliding the sling entirely onto the lifting hook. Sling legs that are not used should be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being lifted. Watch that fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Step clear of the danger zone before the lift is carried out.
