Safe Operationsof

Cranes, Hoists and TruckHoists


2/26

Lifting equipment come in all shapes and sizes

to make your lifting job easier. However, usingthe equipment improperly can causebreakdowns and damage to company

property. You or yourco-workers can also

be seriously injured

Your Safety is the #1 Priority on any job.

This program is to be used to ensure a safeworking environment during lifting operationsutilizing proper equipment.


3/26

Purpose:

Overhead cranes, hoists, and rigging

equipment are used by UniversalCompression employees for lifting andmoving materials. In order to maintain a

safe workplace for its employees, onlyqualified individuals shall operate thesedevices. This program outlines the

procedures for safe operations and thetraining requirements regarding overheadcranes, hoists and rigging equipment.


4/26


5/26

General Requirements: This program applies to overhead cranes

including wall cranes, (jib cranes) and others

having the same fundamental characteristics. Only designated employees trained in crane and

hoist safety shall operate cranes covered by this

program. All cranes in service and utilized by Universal

Compression shall meet, as a minimum, the

design specifications of the American NationalStandard Safety Code for Overhead and GantryCranes, ANSI B30.2.0-1967.


6/26

General Requirements (cont.) Each crane shall have the load rating plainly

marked on each side of the crane. If the crane has more than one hoisting unit,

each hoist shall have its load rating marked on it

or its load block and this marking shall be clearlylegible from the ground floor.

All cranes shall be locked and tagged out while

repairs are in progress to them or any otherequipment or building structure that may havepersonnel or equipment in their path.


7/26

Inspections:

General Inspections

Initial Inspections

Daily Inspections

Monthly Inspections Annual Inspections

Inspections on idle and standby cranes


8/26

General Inspections:

Cranes and hoists that have been

overloaded shall have a GeneralInspection performed prior to beingreturned to service.


9/26

Initial Inspection:

Initial inspection and test shall be performed by

a qualified third party.

Prior to initial use, any and all new and alteredcranes shall be inspected and tested to ensure

compliance with the provisions of 29CFR1910.179 and ABSI B30.2.

Only after determining, by this inspection,

testing and proper documentation, that thecrane is in safe operating condition shall it beput into service.


10/26

Daily Inspections:

Daily inspections shall be performed by

the crane operator prior to beginning shiftand through observation during normaloperation.

All deficiencies shall be documented andexamined by qualified personnel to

determine if they constitute a safetyhazard.


11/26

Monthly Inspections:

Monthly inspections shall include all items

from the daily inspections and shall bedocumented with a certification recordwhich includes the signature of thequalified person who performed theinspection, the date, and identifier (serial

number, unit number, etc.) for each pieceof equipment.


12/26

Annual Inspections:

At least annually, a periodic inspection of

all equipment covered by this programshall be inspected by a qualified thirdparty.


13/26

Inspections

Inspections are to be completed and

documented.

Documentation is to be filed at the local or

regional office. If the inspection has not been documented

then it never happened.


14/26

Idle and Standby Cranes:

A crane that has been idle for one to six

months shall have a daily inspectionperformed before placing it into service.

Additionally the periodic annual inspection isrequired, if the last annual inspection is morethan 12 months old.

A crane idle for more than six months shallhave the monthly inspection completedbefore placing it into service.


15/26

Retention of Inspections: All inspection records shall be retained at

the facility where each crane, hoist orother equipment covered by this programis located.

All maintenance and repair records shallbe retained for the life of the equipment.


16/26

Operational Procedures: Only qualified designated personnel shall

operate cranes and equipment covered bythis program.

Operators shall comply with the followingsafety rules while operating cranes andhoists: (see notes)


17/26

Operational Procedures (cont) At the start of each work shift, operators

shall do the following steps before makinglifts with any crane or hoist: (see notes)

Moving a load (see notes)

Parking a crane or hoist (see notes)


18/26

Truck Hoist Requirements Each truck hoist shall have the load rating plainly

marked on the unit. A load rating chart shall be clearly legible,

attached to the truck hoist, and shall be locatedin view of the operator while at the controls.

Make certain the crane is installed per factoryspecifications

The vehicle shall comply with the hoistmanufacturers recommendation for size andGVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Requirement)


19/26

Truck Hoist Requirements (cont) The vehicle shall be equipped with appropriately

sized outriggers/jacklegs as per the hoistmanufacturers recommendations.

The maximum lifting capacity rating must bedetermined for each length of boom used on thehoist. Manufacturers load charts shall beutilized.

The maximum lifting capacity rating will not

exceed hoist or pulley maximum loads, and willbe posted on all hoist equipped trucks wherereadily visible to operator from hoist controls.


20/26

Truck Hoist Requirements (cont) Boom tie-downs must be used when the vehicle

is in motion. A routine inspection of the crane is mandatorybefore each operation.

Monthly inspections shall be documented using

the truck hoist inspection checklist (found inSafety Manual).

Annual inspections and certifications may berequired to comply with customer requirements.

The operator must be familiar with and trainedon lifting equipment before being allowed tooperate the unit.


21/26

Truck Hoist Safety Tips &

Precautions Employees assigned to duties requiring the

operations of truck hoists are responsible to: Become familiar with and store in vehicle, the owners

manual from the manufacturer of the truck hoist.

Make the required inspections,

Ensure that the truck hoist is maintained, Ensure that all personnel working in the area around

the crane are kept clear of all hazards related to hoistoperations.

Determine the weights, and correct rigging requiredfor loads to be lifted


22/26


Precautions Make certain the vehicle meets minimum

chassis requirements. (These requirements donot guarantee unit stability.)

All load ratings are based on crane capacity.THESE CRANES CAN LIFT ENOUGH TO

TURN THE TRUCK OVER! NEVER wrap cable around load. REMEMBER in lifting a heavy load, the weight

can create enough tipping moment to overturnthe vehicle.

NEVER attempt to lift or drag a load from theside. The boom can fail far below its capacity.


23/26


Precautions

NEVER hold any pendant Select switch on

that will negate safe operation conditions. At the job site, the vehicle shall be

positioned so that the crane can

adequately reach the load within the ratedcapacity of the truck hoist (centerline ofrotation to hoist hook).

Keep the vehicle as level as possibleduring operation.


24/26


Precautions Engage emergency brake and turn off ignition with

transmission left in gear (or park for automatic

transmissions). For extended use, leave engine running with brake set

and transmission in neutral or park - this will keep batterycharged.

ALWAYS use outriggers from the truck to the ground. Be sure these are firm and adequately positioned. ALWAYS store outriggers before road travel. Plug in pendant control or unwrap pendant cable from

storage - crane is ready for operation. Always boom up before rotating so boom will clear boom

support.


25/26


Precautions Do not move truck with a load suspended on a

hoist. Before attempting to rotate the load, position

suspended load as low as practical to theground; maintain proper body position where

the load can be maneuvered without placingthe body in the path of travel or under the load. After lifting operation is complete, retract

boom. return to stowed position on the boom

support. Avoid unneeded pressure on the boom

support. Store pendant control in proper location.


26/26

TAG LINES ARE REQUIREDON ALL LIFTS.

If your service truck has a hoist,do you have available tag lines?

Can you find them?Do you use them?
