PREVENTATIVE MEASURES PERSON
 Appointed competent person
 to assess crane requirements. Inspection certificates
to be checked prior to commencing work. Carryout
crane pre-start checks (limit switches, fail safes etc)
Visual inspection of all lifting equipment to be carried
out
 Check the underground services drawings, ground
loadings etc. Use spreader plates under outriggers.
Maintain clearance for slewing operation (min 2ft).
Overhead power cable clearance to be maintained
minimum 6 metres from full boom extension.
 Area to be cordoned off. Non-essential persons to
vacate area. Warning signs to be posted. No lifting to
be carried out over occupied areas or facilities. Supervisor
Equipment or services, feed lines to be protected or
isolated/drained if necessary.
 Banks man to control all lifts. Establish
communication channels. Assess load weight and
check equipment SWL. Load centre of gravity to be
determined. Stop lift if weather conditions deteriorate
(high winds, etc). Use competent rigger/slingers only.
 Inform all necessary parties. Area to be cordoned off.
Site emergency services to be informed of lifting
arrangements and schedule. Access for emergency

RESPONSIBLE
PREVENTATIVE MEASURES PERSON
 Proper signals are given to the crane driver by one nominated Supervisor
Banks man. Check the safe working load of equipment
against the load to be lifted. Inspect all equipment certificates
and visually confirm. Banks man should wear hi-visibility vest.
 Use the right kind of sling for the job. See that the sling is in
good condition - splices, rings, and thimbles.
 See that there are no broken ends in wires. Check eyebolts,
threads, chains etc.
 Use only competent trained Riggers. Ensure all gear is
properly attached to the load (slings properly adjusted, hook
closed). No sharp edges (adequate packing for slings).
 Hoist rope/cable must be vertical and over centre of gravity of
the load. See that load is clear of obstructions and free from
any bolding down bolts. Test lift to see the load is properly
slung and balanced. Clear adequate space in landing area.
 Ensure hands are away from slings and pinch traps before the
crane takes the load. Do not stand under loads or boom of
crane. Use a tag rope to control swing in the load - hands and
finger can get trapped. Keep load low during travel. Cordon of
lift area.
