What should be done if the crane’s load path crosses over public pathways?

Implementing traffic control measures is essential when a crane's load path crosses over public pathways to ensure safety. This involves establishing a clear plan to direct traffic away from the area where the crane is operating and to protect both pedestrians and vehicles from potential hazards associated with the lifting operations.

Traffic control measures can include setting up barriers, cones, or signs to keep the public at a safe distance. Additionally, personnel may be needed to monitor and manage traffic during operations, ensuring that everyone remains safe from moving loads or hazards associated with crane activities. Effective traffic control helps prevent accidents and reduces the risk of injury, which is paramount in any operation involving heavy machinery near public areas.
