7. OPERATING THE REMOTE CONTROLLED CRANE,
continued.
+
If anyone is in the path of travel, the portable remote control crane operator shall stop
and clear the area before proceeding.
+
Bumping into runway stops or into other cranes on the same runway is prohibited.
+
When moving the crane, the PRC crane operator shall make sure the hook block,
attachment and/or cables will not fall on nearby equipment.
+
The PRC crane operator shall not drag slings, chains, etc. along the floor. These
could snag on something on the floor, causing the cables to break and strike the
operator or a fellow worker.
+
If gloves are not required for safety reasons, they shall not be used when operating the
portable remote controller.
+
All loose material or parts shall be removed from the load before starting the lift.
Such material can fall and injure people below.
+
The PRC crane operator shall hoist lifts high enough to clear all apparatus and
workers below the crane.
+
Plugging shall not be used as a regular means of stopping the crane and should be
used for emergency stops only. If approved, plugging should only be performed as
dictated by plant operating procedures.
+
If PRC crane operators are asked to do something they believe unsafe, they shall call
their supervisors for advice.
+
PRC crane operators shall never permit anyone to ride on the load or hook except
when authorized by their supervisor.
+
When another crane on the same runway is stationary with or without a load, the PRC
crane operator shall maintain a safe distance between the crane being operated and
the stationary crane. In a power outage, the PRC crane operator shall set the ON/OFF
switch(es) on the controller to ‘OFF’, keeping them in the OFF position until power is
restored.
+
If the PRC crane fails to respond correctly, the operator shall stop operation
immediately by setting the ON/OFF switch(es) on the controller to ‘OFF’. When the
controller is equipped with a STOP button, this shall be set to the ‘STOP’ position
before switching off power to the controller. The fault condition shall be reported
immediately to a supervisor.
+
Outside cranes subject to movement by winds, storms, etc. shall be securely anchored
when left unattended. If the crane is equipped with a bridge parking brake, it shall
also be set.
