Please Note - Using this video on what NOT to DO! Below are just a few of the high hitters. Not sure who produced this video but not recommended.At mark 2:46 shows all hooks being tip-loaded (stated in the video at mark 15:44 not to point-hook!) Not approved by the MFG of the hook. Workers seen touching the load and standing in a red zone throughout the video. This when the narrator states that personnel should stand clear from the load. Recommend going back and count how many times workers in the video are touching or standing next to a load when there is absolutely no need to touch the load or be next to the load. It is apparent no training or management commitment on utilizing no-touch tools and red zone in the event the rigging/crane fails and the load falls. Stated at mark 16:04 the narrator states - "Keep hands clear of the load and stand away from suspended loads!" At mark 11:01, not only is the worker touching the load while operating the pendant controller (not approved under ASTM B-30.2-2011) but pushing the load in position. (ASTM B30.2 Section 2-3.3.2 (I) and 2.3.3.4 (3) where it states rigging the load, attaching the load to the crane hook, and other tasks related to moving the load are sometimes handled by persons other than the crane operator. 2.3.3.4 (16) clearly states that the crane operator concentrate on operating the crane and shall not allow attention to be diverted while operating the crane. Mark 21:26 observed a worker walk under a suspended load.
The spoken word is good but in shown videos behaviour is often not in line with what has been said. Dot not walk under loads. What we see is best rememnbered.
