What Does Your
Cab Indicate?

 

Supervisors and crane

owners should inspect their operator cabs to observe their condition. An organized and well-kept operator's cab may be an indication of the professionalism of the crane operator. Over the last 38 years, Crane Tech has seen many operator cabs that remain clean, organized and well kept. This generally indicates an operator who cares for their crane. More often than not, clean and organized cabs belong to the most professional operators; those who aim to bring the highest degree of professionalism to their job.

 

When we find an operator's cab with accumulated dirt, tools, waste, newspapers, and other non-related reading materials we frequently find an unprofessional attitude. An unkempt cab can cause interference and distractions. An operator who does not care for the crane may lead to not caring for the job tasks required.

 

§OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1910.180(i)(3)(ii) "Tools, oil cans, waste, extra fuses, and other necessary articles shall be stored in the tool box, and shall not be permitted to lie loose in or about the cab." OSHA also refers to clothing and personal belongings being stored and not to interfere with access or operation. It is the operator's responsibility to ensure the cab is maintained, organized, clean and uncluttered.

 

So dare we ask, when was the last time the operator cab of your crane was inspected?
 

Stay tuned next week for more information on the construction of the crane cab.
