Risk of serious injury posed by heavy loads when using cranes for transporta-
tion
Transporting heavy devices or components with a crane may result in serious im-
pact and crush injuries if the loads start moving in an uncontrolled manner.
Loads may only be transported with a crane by a duly qualified person.
Markings and information about the center of gravity of the load (if applicable)
must be observed.
Loads may only be moved under supervision.
Risk of serious injury in the event that load handling attachments break while
holding a suspended load
Heavy loads picked up or transported with hoisting and slinging gear may result
in serious impact and crush injuries if the load handling attachments fail.
Only fasten the device at the positions intended for the transport.
The load-bearing capacity of the appropriate hoisting equipment must corre-
spond at least to the weight of the load to be transported.
Always stand clear of suspended loads.
Ensure that no person is within the danger zone.
A mobile workshop crane is suitable for use as hoisting equipment. A pallet jack or
forklift is also suitable for intraplant transportation.
The following are adequate for use as slings:
Ropes
Belts
Chains
The hoisting equipment and slings must meet the following criteria:
The load capacity must be sufficient for the gas pressure regulator's weight.
The hoisting height is adequate for the mounting position at the installation
site.
