Lesson 1Pedestrian Risks: Loads Moving Over People and Path ClashesThis lesson checks how walkers face crane dangers, like loads passing overhead, path overlaps, and hidden spots, and explains layouts, barriers, and rules to keep people and loads apart in Ugandan workplaces.
Planning walker routes and crane pathsRules against moving loads over workersUsing barriers, off-limits zones, and signsSpotters and taglines near paths and doorsHandling visitors and unusual foot trafficLesson 2Environment and Workplace Dangers: Barriers, Bad Lighting, Slippery FloorsThis lesson reviews site and work hazards affecting crane safety, such as barriers, dim lights, wet floors, and noise, and shows how to check, report, and fix these issues in Ugandan settings.
