 RIGGING PRECAUTIONS
Erection / Placing
Before lifting check the sling is properly attached to the Hook.
Avoid impact / jerk load
Never ride on a load
Never allow load to be carried over the head of personnel
Ensure all personnel stand clear while load is lifted, lowered and
the sling is removed.
Never leave a load suspended in air when the crane/ hoist is
unattended.

Doc No.- IMS/HSE/PP-18/CRANE SAFETY/ Rev. No: 01 Rev. Date:03.08.2015
 RIGGING PRECAUTIONS

No temporary repairs on slings

Remove or secure all loose materials from the load
Ensure load is free before lifting & all legs are taking the load.
Lower the loads on to adequate blocking to prevent damage to
the slings.

 Duty of a Rigger
 Planning of Rigging Activity.
 Assessment of load to be lifted.

 Selection of lifting gears.

 Locate Lifting Points.

 Rigging the Load.

 Follow Safe Lifting Procedure.

 Signals to the Crane Operator.

 Maintenance of Lifting gears.

 Checking and Inspection of Lifting Gears.

 Reporting to Foreman / Supervisor / Safety Officer.

 VERIFY THE LAOD CHART BEFORE STARTING THE LIFT
Each crane has a load chart that, in short, specifies the crane’s capabilities—detailing its features
and how its lift capacity varies when considering distance and angle

 Suspended Loads

24
Don’t stand under suspended loads
Doc No.- IMS/HSE/PP-18/CRANE SAFETY/ Rev. No: 01 Rev. Date:03.08.2015
 Whenever 2 or more ropes
are to be placed over a hook Use of tag lines to control all loads
- use a shackle

 Before being unhooked all Stay away from slings when
loads must be safely landed they are being pulled out from
and properly blocked under loads

Conclusion
 At the beginning of your shift, check the crane. Conduct a walk around.
 Examine the load chain for damage or twists, or the wire rope for kinks or fraying.
 Check the hook. If it's out of shape, don't use it. This may indicate internal damage.
 Don't try to lift more than the hoist rating. If you don't know the hoist's rating, find out.
 Avoid shock loads. Don't run the hook with a slack chain. Bring the chain or wire to a taut position before
lifting.
 To avoid damage to the hoist, the rope or chain should always be in a straight line from hoist to hook.
 Avoid snagging a load while lifting. Avoid jogging a load.
 Balance a load carefully. Use the right sized sling.
 Be sure your load is secure so that nothing can slip out and cause damage or injury.
 Never use the load chain or wire rope for a sling and make sure the load chain or rope is straight...no
kinks, bends or breaks.
 Don't bend the rope or chain over sharp edges.
 When welding near a hoist, avoid heating the chain and making it weak; keep weld spatter off the chain,
and never use the hoist as a ground.
 When using a wire rope hoist, check the wire on the drum. Don't let it get out of the grooves and pile
upon itself.
 Never leave a suspended load unattended.
 Never carry a load over another person...or get under a load yourself.
 Never lift people with a hoist.
 Use tag line to control the load.
30
 Only one person should signal the operator.
