Employee and Site Safety Guidelines

The following guidelines will further help improve site safety while handling, attaching, and moving loads:

• Never hoist, lower, or travel while an employee is on the load or hook.
• Never carry loads over people.
• Never use a ladder when hands are occupied with other encumbrances.
• Lower (do not carry) anything that cannot be placed in pockets or belts while going down a ladder.
• Always store personal items in crane cabs (never leave out where they can impede operation or cab access).
• Places tools, oil cans, and other articles in the tool box (never out loose in the cab).
• Make sure fire extinguishers meet all requirements.
