Published by SALUS

I am sorry, but the documents provided do not contain specific information about PPE requirements for crane lift operations. Therefore, I cannot provide a complete answer to your question. However, I can give you some general information. Generally, for crane lift operations, the following PPE is typically required:

  • Head protection: Hard hats are essential to protect against falling objects or head strikes [1].
  • Eye protection: Safety glasses or goggles should be worn to protect against dust, debris, or chemical splashes 6, 9.
  • Hand protection: Wear chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary 6, 8, 13, 14, 16.
  • Foot protection: Safety shoes or boots with steel toes protect against foot injuries from heavy objects or crushing hazards.
  • High-visibility clothing: Wear high-visibility vests or clothing to ensure you are seen by crane operators and other workers, especially in low-light conditions.
  • Respiratory protection: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary 2, 5, 7, 13, 14, 16.
  • Body protection: Wear suitable protective clothing 6, 8.
