Scout's Toolbox Talks

🏗️ Crane and Rigging Safety

Crane Setup and Stability

If the crane isn’t stable, the lift isn’t safe — no exceptions.

Improper setup is one of the leading causes of crane tip-overs and structural failures. These toolbox talks cover critical setup elements including ground conditions, outrigger deployment, cribbing, levelness, wind considerations, load chart use, and OSHA crane assembly requirements. Use them to ensure every crane on your site is positioned, supported, and operated safely from the start.

Lead safety meetings with toolbox talks focused on crane stability, safe setup procedures, and OSHA-compliant assembly practices to prevent tipping and structural failures.
