Cranes, Chains, Slings & Hoists Safety (Gory)

(12 min.) Welcome to another training program. Today, we want to review cranes and lifting devices.The most important safety feature is the operator's knowledge of how to use, inspect, and maintain the equipment. Safety around hoisting equipment is extremely important because one little mistake can be disastrous. Damaged or worn out parts also make your equipment unsafe to use. Something that everyone must know and understand is simply this: If your equipment is unsafe to use, don't use it. That goes for any equipment. If it's unsafe, don't use it.

Topics discussed in this safety training include: Inspect your hoisting equipment every day, sharp edges, overloading your equipment, Kinks or twists, lifting at an angle, traveling with a load.

Program comes with a CD-ROM of written materials, including test questions and answers. English title also includes PowerPoint presentation.
