What type of safety devices protect personnel and equipment?

General safety devices are designed to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment during the operation of cranes and related machinery. These devices typically include features such as safety guards, limit switches, emergency stop buttons, and warning systems that alert operators and nearby personnel of potential hazards. By using general safety devices, risks of accidents and injuries are minimized, and the safe functioning of the equipment is maintained.

Operational safety devices, while important, are more focused on the methods and practices during operation rather than broadly protecting personnel and equipment. Emergency response devices focus on managing situations after an incident has occurred. Maintenance safety devices, on the other hand, are specific to the upkeep and repair of the equipment rather than its safe operation during use. In contrast, general safety devices encompass a wider range of protective measures, making them integral to the overall safety strategy in crane operations.
