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

In order to safely use an overhead crane, workers need to employ safe rigging practices. This requires both knowledge and practice. The load must be rigged properly in order to ensure its stability when lifted. Prior to beginning a hoisting task, it must be determined that the crane is suitable for the job, with appropriate capacity, travel and lift. The crane needs to be subjected to a thorough physical and visual inspection before utilization. The capacity of all machinery, including the rope, slings and hardware, should never exceed load weight capacities.

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

Prior to whatever lifting starts, the path of the load must be cleared of all hazards and a warning sign should be issued to be able to ensure the safety of the personnel. Pedestrian are not under any circumstance allowed to walk below the lift loads. The crane hoist should be centered over the load prior to lifting in order to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed immediately after sliding the sling fully onto the hoisting hook. Sling legs which are not used must be secured so they do not drag. Never leave loose materials on a load being hoisted. Watch that hands and fingers are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Before the lift is carried out, step clear of the danger zone.
