Introduction to Crane Safety

In both construction and general industry settings, the need to move large and heavy loads is necessary and vital. There are many different machines and types of equipment which make this possible. One such piece of equipment is the crane. Cranes make it possible to lift, move, and lower loads and objects of all shapes and sizes. As with any type of equipment or machinery, there are significant safety issues to be considered with the operation of a crane. Crane operators, and workers in close proximity to them, must follow certain procedures and guidelines to ensure their safety and those around them. This training program will cover some of those safety issues. Topics discussed in this program include: Ground Conditions, Assembly and Disassembly, Power Line Safety, Inspections, Safety Devices and Operational Aids, Operations, Signals and Maintenance and Repair.
