2.5 Safety instructions for crane operation
Carefully select a safe site for the truck crane, where you can work safely.
Walk around the truck crane and inspect it before beginning crane opera-
tion. Check the condition of the truck crane carefully using the checklists in
the operating manual. Do not assume everything is in working order simply
because it was in working order at the end of the last shift.
Check daily that all covers and safety devices are fitted properly and are in
good condition before crane operation.
Check the safety devices (RCL, lifting limit switch, dead man's switch,
emergency stop switches) every day before you start work.
Use the appropriate access aids when carrying out overhead rigging or
maintenance work. Do not use parts of the crane as access aids.
Walk on only those parts of the truck crane which are equipped with
appropriate step grids and railings and therefore guarantee safety.
Use a suitable safety harness when walking on other surfaces – this also
applies to sanded surfaces.
All locations designed for fastening a fall prevention safety system are
marked with a symbol.
Always use a ladder for work above head height.
