The Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA)<\/a> Crane Safety Conference, held Wednesday April 11, 2019 at ProMat, was attended by over 50 industry professionals who were trained on crane safety and design topics.<\/p>\n

A speaker from OSHA’s Safety and Health Specialists identified the top areas of deficiencies cited by OSHA as crane safety infractions. The top five areas are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Not performing the required periodic inspections<\/li>\n
  2. Issues with crane pendant controllers<\/li>\n
  3. Not performing required frequent \/ daily inspections (chains, wire rope, and hooks )<\/li>\n
  4. Lack of proper load capacity rating labels on the crane<\/li>\n
  5. Improper securing of the loads<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The speaker also outlined what proper crane inspections should address.<\/p>\n

    In addition to proper operator training for safe use of cranes, the crane safety conference topics included fall protection, braking, diagnostics, mobile technology, and automation.<\/p>\n

    \"\"

    The conference was held Wednesday April 11, 2019 at ProMat.<\/p><\/div>\n

    Attendees received seven professional development credits and a copy of the CMAA<\/a> Specification 78 (Guidelines for Professional Service) and CMAA<\/a> Specification 79 (Crane Operators Manual).<\/p>\n
