SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THE FOLLOWING SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINE THE CARE AND SAFE USE OF BEAM
CLAMPS AND ARE BASED ON SECTION 8 OF THE LEEA CODE OF PRACTICE FOR THE SAFE
USE OF LIFTING EQUIPMENT.
This information is of a general nature; only covering the main points for the safe use of beam
clamps intended for use as suspension points for lifting appliances. It may be necessary to
supplement this information for specifi c applications.
ALWAY S
■
Store and handle beam clamps correctly
■
Inspect beam clamps and accessories before use and before placing into storage
■
Ensure the supporting structure is adequate for the full load that will be imposed and suitable
for the application.
■
Check the clamp is of the correct profi le and size, or correctly adjusted, for the beam width
and that it seats correctly on the beam fl ange.
■
Ensure the beam clamp is strong enough for the full load that will be imposed.
■
Check that the clamp is directly over the centre of gravity of the load.
NEVER
■
Use beam clamps which are unidentifi ed or uncertifi ed for lifting applications.
■
Never replace bolts, shackles etc. without consulting the supplier.
■
Throw or drop beam clamps.
■
Use beam clamps on damaged or distorted beams.
■
Force or wedge hooks of lifting appliances into the attachment eye or fi tting (e.g. shackle).
■
Obliquely load beam clamps without the authority of the supplier.
STORING & HANDLING BEAM CLAMPS
Never return damaged beam clamps to storage. They should be dry, clean and protected from
corrosion. Where necessary fasteners should be reassembled immediately after removal from the
beam. Beam clamps should not be dropped or thrown down.
USING BEAM CLAMPS SAFELY
The safe use of beam clamps will largely be governed by the requirements for the lifting appliance
with which it is to be used but should take the following matters into account:
■
Do not use defective beam clamps, lifting appliances or accessories.
■
Ensure the structure from which the clamp is to be suspended is undamaged and is adequate
for the full load that will be imposed. If any doubt exists consult a Competent Person to
confi rm suitability.
■
Ensure the clamp is suitable for the application, correct size and profi le for the beam and
seats correctly. It must not cause localised overloading.
■
Ensure the lifting appliance is compatible with the clamp and that hooks or other attachments
fi t freely into the eye, shackle etc. of the clamp.
■
The clamp must be positioned directly over the centre of gravity of the load and the load must
not be allowed to swing or impose an oblique loading.
■
If two clamps are to be used in tandem the use of ancillary equipment may also be necessary,
e.g. spreader beam. Care must be taken to ensure no one clamp takes more than its rated
capacity.
IN-SERVICE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Beam clamps should be cleaned and any moving parts lubricated at appropriate intervals unless
the suppliers specifi c instructions indicate otherwise.
Regularly inspect the beam clamp, in the event of the following defects refer the clamp to a
competent Person for thorough examination: wear, damage or distortion, cracks, insecure bolts
etc., corrosion, illegible markings.
