🚨 Statistics: Attention to all primary industry professionals! 🚨 Did you know that overhead cranes, vital to many operations, are prone to significant wear and tear, especially in harsh conditions? The numbers are alarming: over half of all crane incidents involve a dropped load, with 60% of these incidents linked to poor maintenance and 15% to the failure of wire ropes/cables. But here's what's even more concerning - a staggering 33% of all crane accidents due to poor maintenance result in a fatality. 😔 This is a stark reminder of the critical importance of regular inspections, proper maintenance, and adherence to safety protocols. Let's commit to prioritizing safety, investing in training, and ensuring our equipment is in top condition to protect our workforce and operations. #CraneSafety #IndustrialSafety #MaintenanceMatters #SafetyFirst #PreventativeMaintenance

Day's question ⁉️ When inspecting after using the crane, what action should be taken if any damage to the ropes or wires is found? 1. Continue using the crane provided that the lifting load is reduced. 2. Replace the ropes and wires immediately without the need to inform the maintenance team. 3. Record the damage in the crane log and inform the maintenance team to take the necessary action. 4. Ignore the damage if it is small and continue using the crane until the opportunity for maintenance is available.

"Unlocking Safety and Efficiency: Mastering Tandem Lifting for Heavy Loads. 💪🏗️ #SafetyFirst #TandemLifting #Efficiency #ConstructionSafety" Tandem lifting involves the coordinated use of two or more cranes or hoisting devices to lift and move heavy loads. This method is commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries where large or bulky items need to be transported safely and efficiently. Safety guidelines for tandem lifting: 1. Plan well: Think about the lift, its weight, and how to do it safely. 2. Use trained people: Only let trained people operate the equipment. 3. Check the gear: Before lifting, check if everything works well. 4. Keep the load steady: Make sure the load won't move or fall. 5. Don't overload: Never lift more than the equipment can handle. 6. Watch out for obstacles: Make sure nothing gets in the way of the lift. 7. Check the ground and weather: Make sure the ground is stable, and the weather is okay. 8. Know what to do in an emergency: Have a plan if something goes wrong. 9. Learn from each lift: After lifting, see if anything could be done better next time.
