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

Operators and worker should employ safe rigging practices to be able to safely operate an overhead crane. This would require both practice and knowledge as the load must be properly rigged to ensure its stability when hoisted. Prior to beginning a hoisting task, it should be determined that the crane is suitable for the job, with appropriate travel, lift and capacity. 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 exceed load weight capacities.

The rigger should know the right sling for every lift and inspect slings and other rigging hardware prior to using. Clear signals must 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 only from the chosen person. If a remote or wired controller is being used, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

To be able to guarantee the safety of personnel, a warning should be issued and the path of the load should be cleared of all obstructions before the lift starts. Individuals must not be allowed to walk below the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load prior to hoisting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch should be closed instantly after sliding the sling fully onto the lifting hook. Unused sling legs should be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being hoisted. Watch that fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Step clear of the danger zone before the lift is made.
