Worksite Safety 07: OSHA Cranes & Other Hoists

Moving large, heavy loads is critical to the manufacturing and construction industries, but unfortunately, cranes, derricks, hoists, and other lifting devices pose significant safety issues for both their operators and for workers in proximity to them. The rules are complex and often out of date; here, we give OSHA-Subpart N-recommended, ANSI-based tips for safe usage and cover cranes, derricks, hoists, elevators and conveyors. OSHA recommends Outreach Training Program courses as an orientation to occupational safety and health for workers. Workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of their job. Please note: This course is not a part of the OSHA 10 Hour Construction Program.
