To use cranes safely and reduce damage, relevant operating procedures and safety technical specifications must be strictly followed. These regulations and specifications cover all aspects from equipment design and manufacturing to installation, use and maintenance, providing specific guidance and requirements to reduce equipment damage. Here is an explanation of some key points:
Regular inspections and supervisory inspections: All type testing agencies and supervisory inspection agencies must conduct strict inspections and tests on bridge and gantry cranes that are newly shipped or have been installed, renovated, or majorly repaired, focusing on "double limiters" Device inspection items. The focus of supervision and inspection also includes the safety management of lifting machinery production units and users.
Operators must hold a certificate to work: Hoisting machinery operators must hold a "Special Equipment Safety Management and Operator Certificate", and operations without a certificate are strictly prohibited. Certified personnel should receive professional training to understand the performance, operating methods and safety procedures of the crane to ensure that they can strictly abide by relevant regulations during operation.
Strengthen crane management and hidden danger investigation: User units should establish a sound crane safety management system and clarify the safety responsibilities of management and operators at all levels. The system should include operating procedures, maintenance records, regular inspection plans, etc. According to a notice from the General Office of the State Administration for Market Regulation, local market regulatory authorities must strengthen the organization and implementation of the investigation and management of hidden dangers in lifting machinery. Focus on inspecting the implementation of safety management, operating procedures, maintenance and technical files and other systems of lifting machinery production units and users. Hidden risks discovered must be rectified within a time limit, and those that are not rectified will be dealt with in accordance with laws and regulations.
