The overhead crane has been built to be used performing repetitive lifting activities. This kind of crane can be used in many capacities. They could be utilized for specialized lifting tasks like removing or installing major plant equipment.

Worker and operators should employ safe rigging practices to be able to safely operate an overhead crane. This would require both knowledge and practice because the load should be correctly rigged to ensure its stability when lifted. Prior to starting a lifting task, it should be determined that the crane is right for the task, with correct capacity, travel and lift. The crane needs to be subjected to a thorough physical and visual inspection before use. The capacity of all machines, including the slings, hardware and rope, should never go beyond load weight capacities.

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

In order to ensure the safety of personnel, a warning must be issued and the path of the load must be cleared of all hazards before the lift starts. People must not be allowed to walk underneath the lift loads. The crane hoist must be centered over the load prior to lifting to prevent swinging. The safety catch has to be closed immediately after sliding the sling entirely 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 fingers and hands are clear when slack is taken out of a sling. Step clear of the danger zone before the lift is carried out.
