The overhead crane has been built to be used doing repetitive lifting activities. This particular type of crane can be used in various capacities. They may be used for specialized hoisting jobs like installing or removing major plant equipment.

Operators and worker should employ safe rigging practices in order to safely operate an overhead crane. This will require both knowledge and practice because the load must be properly rigged to guarantee its stability when hoisted. Before starting a lifting job, it should be determined that the crane is right for the job, with appropriate travel, lift and capacity. The crane must be subjected to a thorough visual and physical check before use. The capacity of all machinery, including the hardware, rope and slings, must never exceed load weight capacities.

The rigger has to know the correct sling for every lift and check slings and other rigging hardware before using. Clear signals have to be used in communications with the crane operator. A signaler has to be designated for the role and signals should be agreed upon. The crane operator should follow instructions from the designated individual only. If a wired or remote controller is being used, the operator should be trained in all its functions.

To be able to guarantee the safety of personnel, a warning must be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all obstructions before the lift begins. Individuals must not be allowed to walk under the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load before hoisting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch has to be closed immediately after sliding the sling entirely onto the lifting hook. Sling legs that are not used must be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being lifted. 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.
