SAFETY MESSAGES
GENERAL
The importance of safe operation and maintenance cannot be over emphasized. Careless-
ness or neglect on the part of operators, job supervisors and planners, rigging personnel,
and job site workers can result in their death or injury and costly damage to the crane and
property.
To alert personnel to hazardous operating practices and maintenance procedures, safety
messages are used throughout the manual. Each safety message contains a safety alert
symbol and a signal word to identify the hazard’s degree of seriousness.
