April 15, 2013, India- When they are in motion, audible warning signs are required for cranes. So that they are aware of every potentially dangerous situation, every worker who is working onsite requires to be trained in crane warning signals. The load capacity of the crane, no one should exceed and for this purpose, load limiter can be used. The point is clear – movement of loads that exceed the weight limit should be avoided. At the same time, due to technical or other reasons, if an operator cannot rig the load properly, it should not be lifted. Checking for any obstacles or people crossing the path, the crane operator should also inspect the path of the crane. Before the crane is operated, this should be done for collision avoidance. Additionally, clear marking should be done on the controls and with the use of these controls, the operator should be very familiar.
In case of an emergency, workers should know how to evacuate the area. Additionally, such as an electrical or a mechanical failure, they should be familiar with how to handle an unexpected emergency. With crane operation signs, they should also be familiar and in event of a power failure, should know how to handle the crane. Additionally, securing their hair and jewelry, workers should not wear loose clothing. When not in operation, they should also park the crane safely and when the crane is not in use, lower the loads. Also, on the hoist or pulley of a crane, never ride. As just a slip could cause the worker to fall and can lead to disastrous consequences, this can be dangerous to life. With using lockout procedures to avoid accidental starting or movements, regulations also stipulate that workers should be familiar. Crane overhead safety options must be kept in mind.
