Overhead cranes are best for particular repetitive hoisting activities. This type of crane has wide ranging capacities. They can be utilized for specialized lifting tasks like installing or removing major plant equipment.

In order to safely utilize an overhead crane, workers need to employ safe rigging practices. This requires both practice and knowledge. The load should be rigged properly to ensure its stability when lifted. Prior to beginning a hoisting task, it should be determined that the crane is suitable for the job, with correct travel, lift and capacity. The crane must be subjected to a thorough visual and physical inspection before utilization. The capacity of all equipment, including the rope, slings and hardware, must never go beyond load weight capacities.

The rigger must know the right sling for each lift and check slings and other rigging hardware before utilizing. Clear signals must be used 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 only from the chosen person. 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 hazards and a warning sign must be issued to guarantee the safety of the workers. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk beneath the lift loads. The crane hoist should be centered over the load prior to hoisting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed instantly after sliding the sling entirely onto the hoisting hook. Sling legs which are not utilized must 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.
