The overhead crane has been built to be utilizing performing repetitive lifting activities. This particular kind of crane could be used in many capacities. They can be utilized for specialized hoisting tasks such as installing or removing major plant machinery.

In order to safely use an overhead crane, workers have to employ safe rigging practices. This requires both practice and knowledge. The load should be rigged correctly to guarantee its stability when raised. Prior to starting a hoisting task, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the task, with correct capacity, travel and lift. The crane should be subjected to a thorough physical and visual check before utilization. The capacity of all machinery, including the hardware, rope and slings, should never go beyond load weight capacities.

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

To guarantee the safety of workers, a warning needs to be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all hazards before the lift begins. People must not be allowed to walk below the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load before hoisting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch should be closed instantly after sliding the sling fully onto the lifting hook. Sling legs which are not used 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. Before the lift is carried out, step clear of the danger zone.
