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 operation.
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 mainte-
nance 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.
