General Hazards
 There are two main hazards when using cranes and
slings:
 Dropping the load

 Hitting someone with

the load or the


equipment

Dedicated to Safety Excellence


Identifying Hazards
 Keep your eyes open.
 Be constantly aware of the crane’s movements.
 Stay out of the way of the machine and its moving
parts.
 Listen and heed the crane’s warning signal. Get out
of the way—and fast.
 Never exceed the crane’s rated capacity, or the
maximum load it can safely handle.

Dedicated to Safety Excellence


Protection Against Hazards – Operators
Primarily responsible for:
 Safe operation of crane and load being hoisted.
 Inspection and maintenance of crane and rigging on
crane.
 Ensuring that proper barricades are erected around
crane’s swing radius.
 Accepting signals from ONE person at a time.

General Guidelines
 Stand clear of all suspended loads.
 Inspect each rigging device before use.
 Never exceed the
rated capacity of rigging.
 Tag lines must
accompany loads that
you can’t maintain
contact with during lift.

General Guidelines (Continued)
 Place pads or mats under the outriggers when
setting crane on unstable or heavily saturated
ground.
 Consider the weather conditions (wind speed and
direction) before hoisting loads.
 Be aware of where you place your hands, fingers, or
body when receiving a load.
 Never place your body between
load and fixed object.
