    Basic Banksman & Slinging

    Training

    Revision 2
    Introduction

    •The Banksman plans the lift with the crane


    operator.
    •The Banksman stands as close to the lift as
    possible but NOT IN THE LINE OF FIRE.
    •The Banksman controls the speed of the lift. He
    slows the crane if it is too fast.
    •The Banksman takes the slack out of the slings
    and checks the load and the lifting equipment
    (lifting gear) to be sure it is OK.
    •The Banksman can use other men to help signal,
    but he is the only man to signal the crane.
