    Key processes to be followed


    Ensure that swinging gantries move freely on the post, and that locks or
    clamps (if fitted) hold jib firmly in the selected position.
    Check for free movement of carriage or monkey along jib.
    Ensure that the working load limit (WWL) of the gantry is clearly displayed
    on or adjacent to the gantry.
    Controls on pendants or remote controllers should be clearly identified with
    both the function and the direction that the button or switch controls.
    All slings, chains, terminal equipment (such as shackles, links, etc) must be
    inspected for excessive wear or damage before and following use.
    All slings and parts must be clearly stamped, tagged or otherwise marked
    with the working load limit of the equipment.
    Check all wire rope slings for broken wires; discard if over 10% of wires are
    broken in one rope lay or any length of the rope equal to 8 times the
    diameter of the rope.
    Ensure that method of slinging does not result in the loads in excess of the
    working load limits of lifting gear.
    Cut-resistant gloves must be worn when handling rough or sharp objects.
    Avoid contact of slings with sharp corners and edges of loads.
    Ensure that slings or parts cannot slip or move when load is applied.
    Provide packing or insulation where a sling could damage the load.
    Loose parts must be placed in a cage or box; do not lift on an open pallet.
    Loose or dislodged parts will create a risk of head injury.
    Falling objects will create a risk of injury to the feet.
    Dust and other particles falling from loads will create risk of eye injury.
    Exercise care when moving long objects which could swing when moving.
    Avoid sudden movements or jerking when travelling.
    Slung loads should not be moved over other persons.
