Abstract Paper presented to the Joint Regional Technical Committee for the Metal Trades (Lille, France). The safety of overhead travelling cranes is examined in respect of access, fixture, and radiation protection, and, for the interior, electrical safety, fire safety, and fall prevention; other aspects studied are visibility, dual control cabs, wind. Recommendations are made with regard to housekeeping and ventilation of cabs, while those with a bearing on comfort relate to the operator's seat, illumination level, noise levels, thermal comfort, and air conditioning.
