Articulated cranes under 16,000 lbs. capacity can just be operated by accredited operators. Operators must be knowledgeable about the features and operational characteristics of the machinery. Before use, a pre-operational equipment check should be carried out. There is a legal requirement to do a pre-operational check and an inspection of the overhead conditions and work-site ground.

The manufacturer's guidelines provide information about maintenance and inspection, unloading and loading of the crane. The law requires daily and annual checks. Drivers must maintain an up-to-date logbook in most regions. They might be required to certify equipment warranties.

It is recommended that companies include remote control devices to their cranes. Remote control enhances safety by allowing the driver an easier alternative for handling the crane.

Improving crane safety will usually help a company's bottom line. Those businesses that follow safe equipment practices will normally see bigger cost savings than companies which don't.

Safety conscious operators are a lot more productive resulting in reduced times needed for loading and unloading.
