When are operators required to perform an Operator's Daily Check of the crane?

Operators are required to perform an Operator's Daily Check of the crane prior to the first use of the crane each day to ensure that all systems are functioning safely and effectively. This check is a critical part of crane safety practices, as it helps identify any potential issues and ensures that the crane is in proper working condition before it is used for any operations. By conducting these checks, operators can detect problems such as leaks, worn parts, or issues with control systems, which could lead to accidents or equipment failure if not addressed.

Conducting checks at the beginning of each day lays the foundation for safe operations throughout the day and prevents unsafe practices that could arise from using equipment that has not been thoroughly inspected. This proactive approach is essential for maintaining workplace safety and compliance with safety regulations. Regular inspections bolster overall operational reliability and contribute to a safer work environment for everyone involved.
