Report addresses inspection procedures and regulations
Tower crane operator Klaus Coleman sits on top of the world, far above the streets of Portland, Oregon. He climbs up to his crane’s cab well before the sunrise to orchestrate a mechanical dance, controlling about a hundred lifts and movements each day, with loads weighing up to 44 tons.
Coleman, a 20-year veteran on the job, knows firsthand the dangers of cranes. Graphic Products has partnered with industry professionals like Coleman to release a Crane Safety Report, which outlines OSHA crane regulations, engineering and administrative controls, safe crane design, safe lifting equipment, inspection requirements and operating procedures. The report also features a hand signals guide for cab-controlled cranes.
