The overhead crane has been made to be used performing repetitive lifting activities. This type of crane can be used in numerous capacities. They may be used for specialized hoisting jobs like for example installing or removing major plant machinery.

Worker and operators should employ safe rigging practices to be able to safely operate an overhead crane. This would require both practice and knowledge because the load needs to be properly rigged to guarantee its stability when lifted. Before starting a hoisting job, it should be determined that the crane is right for the job, with right capacity, travel and lift. The crane needs to be subjected to a thorough physical and visual check before use. The capacity of all machinery, including the rope, slings and hardware, should never go beyond load weight capacities.

The rigger has to know the correct sling for every lift and inspect slings and other rigging hardware prior to utilizing. Clear signals need to be used in communications with the crane operator. A signaler has to be designated for the role and signals have to be agreed upon. The crane operator must follow directions from the designated person only. If a wired or remote controller is being used, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

In order to guarantee the safety of employees, a warning must be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all obstacles before the lift starts. People must not be allowed to walk under the lift loads. The crane hoist should be centered over the load prior to hoisting to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed immediately after sliding the sling entirely onto the lifting 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 made.
