It is the crane driver who is responsible for carrying out safe work. It is also his function to eliminate any malfunctions that may occur during the work. There are a number of standard safety rules that must be observed when carrying out rigging work with the help of a crane. First of all, special equipment should be installed on a special foundation, which will meet the characteristics of the requirements of the working documentation.
Secondly, before starting work, it is necessary to check whether the electrical system of the truck crane is reliably grounded. If not, malfunctions are eliminated. Thirdly, it is forbidden to bring explosive and flammable substances into the driver's cab, as well as to use an electric furnace in it. Special safety rules must be observed when carrying out high-rise work on a truck crane. In such cases, in addition to the crane operator, a supervisor, a worker controlling the power supply, a worker tightening the bolts, and a hydraulic system specialist must be present at the work site to carry out the work.
When carrying out high-rise works with the help of a truck crane, it is important to comply with certain requirements. This type of work should be carried out during the day, in case of night work the site is equipped with additional lighting equipment. It is dangerous to work at height in winds of more than 4 points.

At the end of high-altitude work, all fastening elements of the crane are tightened, the hydraulic system is de-energized, and the control levers are moved to the initial position. Observance of these and other safety rules will help to avoid accidents when carrying out works with the use of a truck crane.
