If you are the owner of a business that uses overhead cranes, one of the most important factors is to ensure that your workplace is safe and secure for your employees, and for anyone else who may visit your factory from time to time. Overhead cranes are heavy and powerful machines that can be used to move heavy loads and materials, and therefore it is essential that you make certain that your employees are properly trained in their use. There are important things to understand, not the least of which is that overloading the crane can cause severe damage and can mean that the load could swing or drop. If something heavy is not properly secured and is dropped it can cause serious, or even fatal, injury. Another problem is that of a swinging load. If the operator fails to centre the hoist over the load, then when lifting begins, the load will swing towards its’ centre of gravity and could strike another employee.
An Accredited Course All employees who are required to operate an overhead crane should, therefore, attend a course that is accredited by a recognised institution. It should also provide a certification that is recognised as well. The course should enable employees to understand the various risks connected to using overhead hoists which will enable them to spot any potential problems in the working environment. They should also be able to use the appropriate safety equipment and PPE in your individual situation. In addition, crane operatives must be able to recognise and immediately respond to any emergency that could arise. Of course, another very important factor is the condition of your equipment. Overhead cranes should be regularly serviced and checked for any faults. As with any other equipment, nothing lasts forever, and parts do wear out. So, it is essential that any worn parts are replaced before they become dangerous.
