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

In order to safely utilize an overhead crane, staff have to employ safe rigging practices. This requires both practice and knowledge. The load should be rigged right to be able to guarantee its stability when lifted. Prior to beginning a hoisting job, it must be determined that the crane is right for the task, with appropriate travel, lift and capacity. The crane needs to be subjected to a thorough physical and visual check before utilization. The capacity of all machinery, including the hardware, rope and slings, should never go over load weight capacities.

Before using the rigger should know what sling is right for each lift and be able to inspect the rigging hardware and gear. The communications which are used with the crane operator have to be clear and concise. A signaler must be designated for the role and signals must be agreed upon. The crane operator needs to follow instructions just from the designated person. If a remote or wired controller is being utilized, the operator must be trained in all its functions.

To be able to guarantee the safety of personnel, a warning has to be issued and the path of the load must be cleared of all obstructions before the lift starts. People must not be allowed to walk under the lift loads. The crane hoist should be centered over the load prior to lifting to prevent swinging. The safety catch must be closed immediately after sliding the sling fully onto the lifting hook. Sling legs which are not used 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 made.
