    Safe Crane Operations: Zero Harm - Only Safe Production

    Cranes are mechanical lifting devices used to lift and move heavy loads beyond human capability. Common crane operation hazards include improper setup, contact with power lines, overloading, safety system overrides, obstructed operator vision, mechanical failures, and operator error. Factors like poor equipment, incorrect boom angles, increased load radii, improper setup, unlevel positioning, overreaching, side loading, rapid movements, and lifting unknown weights can reduce a crane's capacity. To operate cranes safely, operators must have valid permits and lift plans, conduct inspections, ensure proper grounding, level positioning, weight verification, environmental checks, safe load control, obstruction clearance, qualified tackle inspection, and only respond to authorized signals.

    Safe Crane Operations


    A crane is a mechanical lifting device that can be used to lift vertically and lower materials; also it can
    use to move materials horizontally. Typically most modern construction site cranes achieve lift by
    mechanical advantage or by use of hydraulic pressure systems. Thus such cranes are able to lift and
    move loads far beyond human capability.
    Common Hazards in Crane Operations
    • Improper Crane Setup
    • Contact with overhead Power Line
    • Overloading of designed lifting capability
    • Overriding safety system
    • Obstruction of Operator vision
    • Mechanical crane failure
    X
    • Operator Error
    Factors affect crane Capacity
    • Poor equipment condition
    X
    • Variations / error in boom angle indicator
    • Increase in load radius
    • Improper crane set-up (outriggers)
    • Crane not in level position
    • Over reaching & side loading
    • Rapid swing & impact loading
    Never
    Never leave the crane
    • Extending boom with suspended load unattended while
    • Rapid acceleration or deceleration of load running or holding load.
    • Lift unknown weight being lifted & never walk or Work
    • Lifting operation in bad weather conditions underneath any
    (Wind speed >35km/ph, Rain sand storm etc...) suspended load

    Safe Crane Operation Guidelines


    • Ensure valid Permit and Lift plan available before any lift
    • Operator should conduct daily crane inspection.
    SLI
    • Check and ensure ground conditions.
    • Extend the outriggers fully & utilize proper outrigger pads.
    • Place the crane in level position.
    • Check the weight to be lifted and type of load.
    • Check the environmental conditions.
    • Never overload crane.
    • Never bypass any safety system.
    • Always use tag lines for suspended load control
    • Check and confirm there is no obstructions around the load swing area.
    • Use only inspected current quarter color coded lifting tackles
    • Operator should respond only to signals from the competent signalman except
    Emergency Stop Signal (which can be given by anyone).
