A daily inspection checklist should be used and signed off on to ensure an effective and thorough assessment.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">OSHA 1910.179 refers to this daily inspection as a safety check. According to OSHA, the safety check must include all hoists and cranes prior to use at the beginning of each shift. Furthermore, visual assessments must be limited to areas that can be inspected from the floor, a catwalk, or other safe observation point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The following is a list of daily operator inspection requirements as outlined by OSHA 1910.179 and ANSI B30.2.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Inspection Requirements:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Each time an operator uses a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spanco.com\/product_category\/workstation-bridge-cranes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">workstation bridge crane<\/a> or monorail system, he or she must first visually inspect the system and note any obvious abnormalities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>To begin, it&#8217;s always a good idea to do a quick area checkout:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Know where the crane disconnect switch is located.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Verify there are no warning signs on or around the push button pendant.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Make sure other workers aren&#8217;t performing their duties nearby.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Ensure that the load can travel freely or without impediments.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Ensure there are no obstructions in or around the area where the load will be moved, and that the area is large enough to move and place materials safely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Check that all below-the-hook devices are designed for the crane in use and can safely lift loads.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Ensure that the load capacity is less than or equal to the rated capacity of the crane.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">After conducting a preliminary area checkout, the crane operator can inspect the overhead crane itself for any potential malfunctions or safety hazards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Operators can use the following daily checklist to ensure their overhead crane system is functioning safely and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Daily Inspection Checklist:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Tagged Crane or Hoist: Check to ensure the crane or hoist isn&#8217;t tagged out or out of order.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Signs &amp; Labels: Check for proper capacity labels. Ensure that all labels are legible from the ground, and that warning signs are in place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Nuts, Bolts, Screws: Check for loose bolts, nuts, screws, and rivets.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Pins, Bearings, Gears, &amp; Rollers: Check for worn or distorted parts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Endstops &amp; Cotter Pins: Check endstops and cotter pins for abnormal wear or breakage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Hoist Trolley: Check the hoist trolley for abnormal wear or breakage; ensure there are no loose or damaged parts. Check that the trolley and bridge are on-track and functioning smoothly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Track and Supports: Check that all track splices are properly aligned, and ensure that there are no loose, broken, or damaged parts on the bridge or runway. Inspect fasteners and connections, and look for any potential structural damage, cracks, loose items, corroded members, and wear.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Control Devices: Check that control devices are accurate, e.g., pressing the up button should motion the crane\/hoist upwards. Verify that the pushbutton pendant controls are not sticking, worn, or damaged (check for cracks, torn parts, or missing labels).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Brakes: Ensure the bridge and trolley motor brakes operate properly. Check that crane travel doesn&#8217;t drift excessively and that stopping distances are normal (approximately 10 percent of high-speed travel). For hoist brakes, no drift is permitted at all.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Limit Switch: Check for any deteriorated electrical components, such as pushbuttons, limit switches or contactors. Ensure that the upper limit switch is functioning properly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Oil Leakage: Check for any oil leaks or pooling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Miscellaneous: Check that air or hydraulic lines are in working condition, and that any below-the-hook devices are in good condition.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Effective daily safety inspections are essential to the maintenance of any overhead crane system. It&#8217;s important to create a safety regimen following the inspection checklist listed above, and to stop using the crane immediately if any malfunction, unusual noises or movements are detected.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> OSHA regulates overhead crane safety through 29 CFR 1910.179, overhead and gantry cranes.
