Question #639
May the operator of an overhead or gantry crane, hoist or winch leave slings on the hoisting mechanism hook after finishing work?
Czy operator suwnicy, wciągnika, wciągarki, po zakończeniu pracy na haku mechanizmu podnoszenia może pozostawić zawiesia:
a
yes, but only chain slings or webbing slings
tak, ale tylko łańcuchowe bądź pasowe
b
no
nie
Correct answer
c
yes, but only if the hook block is raised sufficiently high
tak, lecz tylko wtedy, gdy zblocze hakowe podniesie dostatecznie wysoko
d
this is recommended at workplaces operating continuously
w zakładach pracy o ruchu ciągłym jest to zalecane
Why?
After finishing work, remove the lifting slings (zawiesia) from the hook and put them in their designated storage place. Slings left hanging can snag on obstacles. Raising the hook block (zblocze hakowe) high does not replace removing the slings.
