This document discusses safety procedures for crane operation. It begins with case studies of past crane accidents and then outlines hazards, dos and don'ts, and highlights of safety procedure HSE-S-228. Key points include only moving loads within a crane's capacity, keeping people clear of loads, and ensuring cranes and operators are certified. Operators must be trained and use standard hand signals with a competent signal person. Lifting plans are required for heavy lifts, multi-crane, or lifts over infrastructure.

Forklifts are extremely useful workplace vehicles, as long as they are used safely and appropriately by operators who are appropriately trained and competent to use them.
Forklifts can be dangerous: they account for 25% of injuries at work. Many workplace accidents involve people being hit or run over by forklift trucks (typically when the forklift is reversing) because the driver did not see them. Owing to their size and weight, injuries resulting from forklifts are generally very serious. Accidents involving them are often caused by poor supervision and a lack of training.
Always:
Wear appropriate personal protective clothing as provided by employer. Hard hat, protective footwear and high visibility clothing are recommended as a minimum when working around forklifts. Other equipment may be needed depending on the working environment
Report defects immediately to supervisor
Make sure work path is free of obstructions
Wear operator restraints, where fitted
Look all around before moving off
Look in the direction of travel
Avoid sudden stops and violent braking
Take care when driving on wet, icy , slippery or loose surfaces Slow down at corners, doorways, and at danger spots
Sound the horn several times when approaching blind corners, exits and entrances
Switch off and remove the key before leaving the forklift. Place the key in a safe location when driving task is completed
Apply the parking brake before leaving the forklift
Report any accidents or near misses to a supervisor
Park the forklift in a safe place, on level ground; never on a slope
Leave the forklift with the mast tilted forwards and the forks fully lowered, with the tips on the floor
Apply the parking brake, select neutral, switch off the engine and remove the key
Return keys or other activating devices to their place of safe-keeping
Report any malfunctions or defects immediately to a supervisor.
Assess the load before lifting. Check weight, size, load centre and security
Make sure that pallets are in good condition
Observe floor loading limits & Travel slowly when going down slopes
Find out the weight of the laden forklift
Check safe working load (SWL) of racking before placing loads onto it
Make sure load does not obstruct view. If it does, drive in reverse, looking in direction.
Make sure there is adequate clearance for the forklift and load, including overhead
Make sure the load is stable, Carry the load as close to ground as possible, Use controls smoothly & arms are fully inserted when travelling with a load
Position forks properly and as widely as possible
Make sure the fork Make sure the forklift is stopped before raising the load
Use suitable attachments for lifting unusual or wide loads
Ensure the forks face uphill when travelling up or down slopes with a load
Ensure the forks face downhill when travelling up or down slopes without a load
Adjust the tilt (where fitted) to suit the gradient and raise the forks to clear the ground

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

•Goal post installed
3. SAFETY IN CRANE OPERATION
CASE STUDY # 2
A HYDRA GOT OVERTURNED…
A hydra (mobile crane) got overturned while
unloading support angles from a trailer. As soon as the
material was lifted from the trailer by 2 feet, a signal
was given by the trailer helper to move the trailer. As
the trailer started to move forward, the support angle
welded to the trailer body got entangled with the
suspended load of the hydra. The load was pulled with
the trailer resulting in the toppling of the hydra.
4. SAFETY IN CRANE OPERATION
CASE STUDY # 3
CRUSHED IN BETWEEN
THE CRANE PLATFORM & COUNTERWEIGHT…
A crane driver and a rigger were to lower a piece of
pipe into a well. After the crane was positioned, the
crane driver assured himself that the rotating cage
was free of people and obstacles and entered the
control cabin. Then, he slewed the jib crane to pick-up
the piece of the pipe. In the mean time, the rigger
climbed up the right-hand outrigger crane support
and leaned over the crane platform to reach the wire

…..When the driver started slewing the crane, the
rigger was crushed between the crane platform and
the counterweight. The victim was found lying on the
crane platform and taken to hospital, where the
doctors diagnosed a fracture of the pelvis. The victim
died the next day.
