Winter is approaching keep in mind of ice especially on hoist lines and booms.

Crane safety in winter is especially important because of the risk of ice, frozen loads, and cold weather.
Here are some tips for operating a crane safely in winter:

Check for ice: Look for ice on the crane, its booms, and the load. Ice can cause moving parts to stick, and it can also crack and rust the machinery. Load lines can even freeze to the point of back spinning the hoist lines or a sudden breaking free of ice allowing load drops causing shock loading or other damage.

Warm up the crane: Before each use, allow the crane enough time to warm up to operating temperature.

Check the load materials: Make sure the load materials are free of ice.

Keep steps and walkways as clear and free of ice as possible.

Also keep an eye on your fellow employees or other contractors working in the cold for signs of cold related issues.
