Preventing Crane Accidents
• Proper outrigger use
– Level (Even ground)
– Fully extended
– Stable compacted base
– Use cribbing to
distribute the load
– Check the oil leakage
around outrigger
(hydraulic jacks, knuckle
joints etc.)

You must plan lifting operations carefully to ensure they are carried out safely. Your plan should result
in a safe system of work which may need to be written down if it is a complex lift. This record is
sometimes known as a method statement, and you must ensure that everyone involved understands it.
Key elements include:
 planning – including site preparation, crane erection and dismantling;
 selection, provision and use of a suitable crane and work equipment
 Including safe slinging and signalling arrangements.
 maintenance and examination of the crane and equipment;
 provision of properly trained and competent personnel;
 supervision of operations by personnel having the necessary authority;
 thorough examinations, reports and other documents;
 preventing unauthorised movement or use of the crane; and
 measures to secure safety of persons not involved in the lifting.
Safe systems of Lifting work
Click to edit Master title style
Supervision of Lifting work
• The right level of supervision must be in
place for lifting operations, reflecting the
degree of risk and personnel involved in
the lifting operation.
• The crane supervisor should direct and
supervise the lifting operation to make
sure it is carried out in accordance with
the method statement.
• The crane supervisor should be
competent and suitably trained and
should have sufficient experience to carry
out all relevant duties and authority to
stop the lifting operation if it is judged
dangerous to proceed.

Safety Precautions while traveling
• Always use Tag line for controlling the load
• Use low gears while traveling with load.
• Don’t travel beyond 8 kmph with load and 15
kmph without load
• Don’t drive close to pits or excavated land
• Keep Boom as low as possible, check for proximity
of over head electric lines.
• Don’t drive down slopes in neutral gear.
• Avoid Sudden stopping or jerking movements

To prevent the booms of cranes coming in contact with
overhead cables, goal posts should be erected.

Load  Number of legs) X (L  H) = Load each sling leg
Example
Load = 120,000 pounds
4 load legs ÷ 120,000 equals
30,000 pounds each leg if vertical
hitch
Sling legs are 20 feet
Height from top of load to lifting
device is 15 feet
20 ÷ 15 = 1.33
Load on each leg is 1.33 x 30,000
= 40,000 pounds
120,000 lb.
Center of Gravity
A load is stable when:
– The hook is directly above the center of
gravity of the load
Estimate the center of gravity
Lift the load just enough to clear the
ground
If the hook is not over the center of gravity
the hook will travel to the center of gravity
CG?
Center of Gravity
If necessary, set the load down and adjust the rigging
If the load tips more than 3°, the rigging should be adjusted
The longer the sling legs, the more stable the load will be
The longer set of sling

PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO CONTROL THE SPREAD OF CORONAVIRUS
INFECTION
 Stay home if you can and avoid gatherings of more than ten people.
 Practice social distancing by keeping a distance of about six feet from
others if you must go out in public.
 Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds,
especially after being in a public place, or after blowing your nose,
coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use
a hand sanitizer with at least 70% alcohol.
 Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth with unwashed hands.
 Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
 Stay home if you are sick, except to get medical care.
 Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing;
throw used tissues in the trash. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or
sneeze into your elbow or sleeve, not your hands.
 Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes
tables, doorknobs, light switches, handles, desks, computers,
phones, keyboards, sinks, toilets, faucets and countertops.
 If surfaces are dirty, clean them - use detergent or soap and water
prior to disinfection.
 Wear a facemask if you are sick. You should wear a facemask when
you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and
before you enter a healthcare provider’s office.
 Rapidly mutating pathogen and since
“Vaccination is compulsory to prevent
the severity of infection.
 Deadly animal virus after SARS and
MERS syndrome
