Cranes Are EverywhereCranes Are Everywhere
Cranes, derricks, and jib hoists are used in almost every industrial setting (tower cranes in construction & shipyards)
Cranes can be found on most construction sites (small cranes, derricks & jibs in garages, trucks & vans)

Crane HazardsCrane Hazards
Crane, sling, or hook could fail if overloaded (any accident: serious injuries, damage)
Load could flip, turn, or release suddenly if not attached correctly (striking a nearby person or object)
People or objects could be struck by the load
![Page 5: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Crane CapacityCrane Capacity
Rated capacity clearly marked on each side of the crane
If more than one hoisting unit, each hoist must be marked with rated capacity
Markings clearly legible from the ground (and from the operator’s station)
![Page 6: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Crane InspectionsCrane Inspections
Daily inspections and logged-monthly inspections (by the operator) include:– Operating mechanisms to ensure proper working order
– Air or hydraulic systems for leaks
– Hoist chains/ropes for wear, twisting, distortion
Periodic (at least yearly) inspections:– Deformed, cracked, or corroded components
– Loose bolts or rivets
– Wear on brakes, chain drive sprocket
![Page 7: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
General Operating RulesGeneral Operating Rules
Only trained, designated operators are permitted to operate cranes
A crane must not be loaded beyond its rated capacity
Follow all safe operating procedures
![Page 8: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Attaching the LoadAttaching the Load
Hoist chain/rope free of kinks or twists
Do not wrap hoist chain/rope around the load
Attach the load to the load block hook with slings or other approved devices
![Page 9: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
HooksHooks
Safety latch or clip (preventing the hook from twisting out of the ring)
Load in center of hook’s curve
Picking up load with the hook’s tip causes it to open up and weaken
Replace hooks that are bent open (15% of the normal throat) or twisted (10% from the plane)
![Page 10: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Moving the LoadMoving the Load
Be sure the hook and hoist are directly over the load (or load will move, or swing)
Ensure that chains/ropes/slings are not twisted (or load will twist, rotate, or flip)
Ensure that the load is well secured and balanced
When traveling, keep the load close to the floor
![Page 11: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hoisting SafetyHoisting Safety
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration (extra stress or load, on the crane and slings)
Watch for obstructions
Never leave controls with load suspended
Do not use cranes for side pulls (extra strain and swing)
Never lower the load below the point where less than two full wraps of rope remain on the hoisting drum (never place the hoisting hook on the ground)
![Page 12: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Hoisting and PeopleHoisting and People
Never carry loads over people
Do not hoist, lower, or travel a load when an employee is on the load or hook
When two or more cranes are lifting a load, put one qualified person in charge
![Page 13: BLR’s Safety Training Presentations Cranes and Slings 29 CFR 1910.179 and 184 Safe Crane Operating Procedures Inspections of Cranes & Slings The Appropriate.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649cb95503460f94980656/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
