Overhead cranes are best for particular repetitive hoisting activities. This type of crane has wide ranging capacities. They may be used for specialized hoisting tasks like removing or installing major plant machinery.

To safely make use of an overhead crane, staff must employ safe rigging practices. This needs both knowledge and practice. The load must be rigged right to ensure its stability when lifted. Prior to beginning a lifting task, it should be determined that the crane is suitable for the job, with right capacity, travel and lift. The crane must be subjected to a thorough physical and visual check before utilization. The capacity of all machinery, including the hardware, rope and slings, should never go over load weight capacities.

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

Prior to whichever lifting starts, the path of the load should be cleared of all hazards and a warning sign must be issued to be able to guarantee the safety of the employees. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk beneath the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load before hoisting to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed immediately 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.
