CRANE (continued)
2.
The following precautions must be taken whenever operating the crane:
WARNING
All personnel in the vicinity of lifting operations should wear appropriate safety equip-
ment including gloves, hard hat, and safety shoes. Failure to comply can result in
serious injury or death.
Heavy loads can crush. Do not allow any body parts to come under the load or between
the load and a stationary object. Failure to comply can result in serious injury or death.
! CAUTION
Make sure that the load lifted does not exceed the load chart ratings. The crane load
chart must be constantly referred to, especially in cases where the load is to be moved
farther away from the crane's pivot point. Overloading can lead to serious damage to
the crane.
Avoid making sudden starting or stopping movements with the crane. Sudden starting
and stopping can lead to serious damage to the crane.
Never drag loads along the deck or the ground. Slew only with the load raised off the
deck or ground. Dragging loads can result in serious damage to the crane and to the
load.
3.
Move the crane's operating control stand (68) from its stowed position (69) to its operating position (70).
4.
Ensure that the crane operator has an unobstructed view of the working area. If the operator's view is obstructed for any
reason, a signalman may be used to assist the operator. If a signalman is used, he shall communicate with the operator
using a predetermined set of signals such as those shown in this work package. If at any time the operator is unsure of
the signal, he shall not operate the crane until he is clear of the signal.
