What is an appropriate device for safely suspending personnel from a crane?

A work box, when properly approved for use, is designed specifically for safely suspending personnel from a crane. It is constructed to securely hold workers while they perform tasks at height, ensuring both safety and stability. The design often includes safety features such as guardrails, harness attachment points, and proper weight ratings that comply with regulations.

Using an approved work box minimizes the risk of falls and other hazards, as it provides a controlled environment for personnel. It has the adequate structural integrity to handle the stress and load that comes from both the workers and their tools. Other options, such as a standard bucket or open platform, do not provide the necessary safety features or are not intended for this purpose, which could lead to unsafe working conditions. Similarly, rigging slings are designed for lifting materials and do not offer a safe platform for personnel.
