Dropping Loads! Crane Safety: Magnets and How to Use Them

In the metals industry, magnets are commonly used as one of the methods for lifting and moving steel with cranes. Oftentimes, magnets are not inspected, misapplied to the load or not matched to the load thickness or capacity.  When this happens, the load can separate from the magnet.  Dropping loads can result in serious injuries and even fatalities.
