Lifting Operation is one of the most hazardous

operations in a working site

The hazards can harm:

The people directly involved with the operation

The people not involve with the operation but

working in adjacent areas

The equipment used for the operationThe equipment and structures in adjacent areas

Preventive measures for

avoiding power line contacts.

Planning for power linehazards.

Dealing with power line

emergencies.

Electrical Hazards

How to Control the Hazard:

Follow the OSHAs power line clearance distances.

ANSI requirements for working around power lines.

Safe working clearance distance for cranes.

Eliminate by de-energizing and

visibly grounding the line.

Control; if the power line

cannot be de-energized or

moved, then take precautionary

measures and have a written

plan.

Electrical Hazards

How to Control the Hazard:

Locate all the power lines on the job site

Identify and determine which activities and equipment

will be at risk of contacting a power line.



What if a crane contacts a power cable

Electrical Hazards

The crane operator should try to remove the crane

from contact by moving it in the reverse direction from

that which caused the contact.

If the crane cannot be moved away from contact, the

operator should remain inside cab until the lines have

been de-energized.

If the crane operator must leave the equipmentbecause of a more immediate hazard, then this person

must jump clear from the equipment and shuffle their

feet in small steps.



Never take chance

know and observe

Absolute Limit of

Approach

Electrical Hazards



Use signalman near power lines

Electrical Hazards



Current can flow outward through ground in a ripple

pattern from the equipment in contact with a power line.

Electrical Hazards



Swinging superstructure of equipment.

Exposure to moving parts, such as: belts,

gears, shafts, pulleys, etc

Caught-In, Compressed or Crushing



Swinging Superstructure of Equip.



Control of Hazard:

Barricade the swing area of the equipment using

barriers, warning chain or anything that will prevent

people from entering the hazardous area

Make sure that the audible (siren) and visible

(revolving light) warnings features of the crane are

always operating when the crane is swinging




Exposure to moving parts, such as: belts,

gears, shafts, pulleys, etc.

Exposure to Moving Parts



Control of Hazard

Never remove

It is essential that appropriate precautions are

taken to ensure the stability of lifting appliancesused on a soft or uneven surfaces.

Stability


32/41


Leaking hydraulic fluid from the outrigger could

prove fatal. Never touch leaking hydraulic hoses.Hydraulics are under pressure and can cause severeburns and deep lacerations.

NO Lifting!

NO CraneWork

Other Hazards


38/41


A qualified rigger oversees all lifting operations

A qualified crane operator is assigned for the

work

All rigging devices are used properly and are in

good condition

Main hoisting line has been inspected, properly

installed and maintained

To effectively manage the safe rigging and hoisting of

loads, and to eliminate any potential hazards, ensure:

General Safety Rules


39/41


All employees involved with the task are

informed on all associated hazards

All employees working in adjacent activities

must be informed about the lifting operations

that will be carried and all associated hazards

All NO GO areas and zones have been clearly

signed, demarcated and barricaded if possible

and safety features are operable

To effectively manage the safe rigging and hoisting of

loads, and to eliminate any potential hazards, ensure:


G S


40/41


Ensure the work area is safe for the crane and the

surrounding area is safe for other operatives:

The area is clear and level

There are no excavations that could cause

collapse

No operatives are working in the lifting zone

If other vehicles have to pass is there room?

There are no overhead cables

IF ANY OF THESE DO NOT COMPLY THEY MUST BE

RECTIFIED BEFORE WORK COMMENCES
