Crane Operation

Life-Saving rule Safe mechanical lifting

Cranes may only be operated by personnel with a valid crane operator's license for the crane in question.

Safe crane operation.
​

Safety in crane operation is crucial to prevent accidents. The following rules must always be observed:

  • Shared responsibility: Both the crane operator and the signal person share responsibility for ensuring that the lift is carried out safely.

  • Passenger transport: Passenger transport by crane is only permitted in approved and safe baskets.

  • Smooth movements: The crane must be operated smoothly and carefully. Sudden movements can lead to overload and accidents.

  • Avoid diagonal pulls: The crane must never pull diagonally, as this can lead to instability and the risk of the load tipping over.

  • Clear load: Ensure that the load is completely free from the surface before lifting commences.

  • Minimize transport over people: Transport of loads over workplaces should be avoided as far as possible.

  • No unattended lifts: The crane operator must never leave the crane as long as there is a suspended load.

  • Inspection: The crane and lifting equipment must be inspected regularly to ensure that it is in a safe condition.
     

FH Contractors' guidelines set minimum standards for safety regulations, unless otherwise specified in writing. Local safety requirements from other companies that relate to your work must take precedence over FH Contractors' guidelines. You must always comply with the laws of the country in which you are working. Violation may result in repatriation. Alcohol and drugs are prohibited in the workplace, as is intoxication or impairment. Abuse will result in immediate dismissal at your own expense.

Remember, safety always comes first!

​

These guidelines constitute the foundation for health, environment, safety, and quality at FH Contractors. By adhering to them, you contribute to our common goal of maintaining a high level of safety in the workplace, which protects both people, the environment, and equipment.
