Key points for safety training of crane hook operators
Safety training for crane hook operators is a key link in ensuring operational safety. The following are the core training points, which need to be combined with theory, practice and assessment:
I. Laws, Regulations and Responsibilities
-
Regulatory requirements
-
Familiar with laws and regulations such as the Special Equipment Safety Law and the Safety Regulations for Lifting Machinery (GB/T 6067).
-
The job requires certification (special operation operator certificate), and regular review.
-
-
Operator Responsibilities
-
Check the equipment before operation, refuse illegal commands, and ensure the safety of the lifting area.
-
2. Equipment Inspection and Maintenance
-
Pre-operation inspection
-
Hook : Check for cracks, deformation, and wear (such as whether the opening degree exceeds the standard).
-
Wire rope/chain : broken wires, twisting, and rust (the number of broken wires does not exceed the standard).
-
Safety device : whether the limiter and anti-unhooking device are effective.
-
-
Daily maintenance
-
Lubricate rotating parts regularly and replace scrapped parts in time (for example, the hook must be replaced if it is cracked).
-
3. Safe operation process
-
Preparation before lifting
-
Confirm the load weight (overloading is strictly prohibited) and check the matching of the slings.
-
Clean up the work area and set up a cordon to prevent people from entering.
-
-
Operation Specifications
-
Lifting : Test lift (check balance 30cm above the ground), lift slowly and avoid sudden stops or releases.
-
Movement : Keep the load low, move smoothly, and do not pass over people or equipment.
-
Placement : Place the load gently and unhook it after confirming that it is stable.
-
-
Signal communication
-
Unify hand gestures/whistle signals (such as GB 5082 standard) with the commander to ensure clear vision.
-
IV. Risk Identification and Emergency Response
-
Common risks
-
Load shaking, wire rope breakage, equipment tipping, and blind spot collision.
-
-
Emergency measures
-
Cut off the power supply in case of sudden power outage, and stay away from the load when it is shaking and control the swing.
-
In case of emergency, sound the horn to warn and evacuate according to the plan.
-
V. Personal protection and environmental safety
-
PPE equipment
-
Safety helmets, non-slip shoes, gloves, and safety belts are required for high-altitude work.
-
-
Environmental Management
-
Stop operations in severe weather such as strong winds (above level 6), thunder and lightning, etc.
-
Ensure adequate lighting when working at night.
-
VI. Practical operation and assessment
-
Simulation Training
-
Practice precise lifting and emergency handling under the guidance of a coach.
-
-
Assessment Content
-
Theoretical exam (regulations, equipment knowledge) + practical assessment (safe operation, emergency response).
-
7. Case Study
-
Analyze typical accidents (such as hook falling off, overloading and overturning), and summarize the causes of violations and preventive measures.
Training objectives : Cultivate the operator's awareness of "safety first", ensure proficiency in standard operations, and reduce accident risks. Regular retraining (recommended once a year) to consolidate skills.
