These instructions specify basic dangers that can arise from the crane. Additional dangers must be determined through a risk assessment and then eliminated.

|
Danger to persons when stepping onto the crane track! | |
|
|
| |
|
|
There are various hazards on the crane and crane track, e.g. due to the height, electricity, temperature, risk of slippage (from oil and dirt), unintended travelling, etc. As a result of this people can be killed or injured. Unauthorised persons are not permitted to step onto the crane track or into the crane. This also applies to cranes and wire rope hoists with walkways. Only trained and authorised persons may enter the crane or crane track. | |
|
|
Danger to persons due to lack of protective clothing! | |
|
|
| |
|
|
In all work there is a risk of head injury (e.g. collision with load hook), hands being crushed (e.g. on the load hook or when slinging the load) and injuries to the feet (e.g. due to falling lifting tackle). As a result of this people can be injured. Wear suitable protective clothing (e.g. industrial safety helmets, safety shoes with reinforced toes, protective gloves) for all work on or using the crane. The actual combination of personal safety gear will depend on the conditions in the building and the use of the crane, and is determined by the risk assessment. | |
|
|
Danger to persons due to loose clothing! | |
|
|
| |
|
|
For all items which are worn loosely, (e.g. jewellery, open jackets, ties, scarves, long hair), there is a danger of these inadvertently catching on the crane (e.g. on the load hook when lifting a load or in a motor during repair work). As a result of this people can be injured. Before beginning all work, tie long hair back, do not wear any open clothing and remove any jewellery. | |
|
|
Danger to persons due to ingestion of intoxicants! | |
|
|
| |
|
|
Alcohol, drugs and certain medications can impair a person's reaction time and ability to concentrate. This could result in hazards not being recognised quickly enough. Persons working with or on the crane may not be under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medications which inhibit their reaction time or motor coordination. | |
