Overhead cranes are suitable for particular repetitive hoisting activities. This type of crane has wide ranging capacities. They could be used for specialized hoisting tasks such as installing or removing major plant machines.

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

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

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