4) Inspect chains and 1) Tears in Slings 1) Check slings for rips and tears and remove from service is faults are found
or slings, shackles, 2) Cracks in chains, shackles, rings and 2) Check chains, shackles, hooks and rings for cracks, corrosion, wears,
hooks mechanism faults etc and remove from service if faults are found
hooks and 3) Dropping of load due to faulty 3) Lifting gear/equipment inspected and tagged with appropriate monthly
attachment points in 4) lifting gear or faulty colour tag
preparation for use attachment points 4) Make certain personnel are sufficiently trained with appropriate certificates/
licences

5) Locate crane in 1) Crane overturning due to unstable 1) Outriggers must be positioned on a flat surface,
lifting position on ground condition 2) Using timbers or suitable material for pads to evenly distribute the load to
2) Personnel being crushed by the ground

(pads) and set 4) Outriggers should only be extended on the side where the
outriggers Operator is positioned or with a suitable spotter.
5) Where space permits, outriggers shall always be fully extended
6) Where space is limited, crane should be configured to maximum capacity
– this may require the use of reduced outriggers or on rubber; when
permitted by the manufacturer
7) Outriggers shall always be extended to manufacturers procedures and
specifications, including the requirement to fit manual pins
8) All outriggers-jacks should be utilized at all time
9) Generally Standard Safe Working Load capacity charts are based on all
outriggers fully extended and set with wheels clear of ground.
10) Outrigger Packing –
11) Additional packing should always be utilized under outrigger floats
12) Commonly used Outrigger Mats should carry design information and be
subject to periodic inspection
13) When timber packing is utilized, it should be in a ‘pigsty ‘packing
14) Arrangement ‘Rule of Thumb’ formulae and calculations should be
observed;

15) Area (m2) = 0.65 x (Cm + L)
-------------
V
Cm = Total mass of crane (KN)
L = Total mass of load (KN)
V = maximum permissible bearing pressure of soil (kpa
6) Attaching Fly or Pin Working at heights/falling 1) Follow W/H permit use appropriate attachment point & safety harness
Jib to Crane when walking along crane boom
2) Use an EWP or ladder for this task & follow safe work practices

7) Position Position 1) Plant to be positioned in area clear of obstruction. Roads

counterweight truck counterweight truck 2) Traffic control in place if required
3) Once crane is elevated and level, a trial operation should be completed by
in an easily in an easily the operator; this may include
accessible spot for accessible spot for 4) Bluffing boom to high angle, and slewing 360 degrees with spotter in
the crane to load its the crane to load its position – purpose to review tail swing and outrigger packing suitability
counterweights counterweights 5) Executing ‘dry-run’ where load is required to be picked up and placed –
Purpose to ensure crane is capable of task and set required limits

8) Re-assessing Changes in weather 1) Continual safe operation can be aided by periodic inspection throughout
Situation throughout conditions the project of the following;
job Changes in operators 2) Outrigger Jacks – Leaking oil/retraction of shaft
Changes in ground suitability 3) Outrigger Mats – excessive settlement and/or sinking into ground; i.e.,
loadings increasing beyond estimated capacity of ground – such as
unknown back-filling
4) Outrigger Floats – Cracking or critical damage
5) Evidence of water content in ground
6) Should requirements change during operation, then crew shall re-assess
and review crane capacity and wider environment to ensure revised work
practice is within limits and safe to continue operation

9) 10.Packing up and/or Unauthorised person access 1) Upon completion of project, or specific stage the crane
leaving crane onsite crane site 2) equipment and site shall be left in a secure and safe manner
Damage to crane 3) If the crane is to be left onsite;
Injury to public 4) Retract Boom, remove keys from the ignition and secure/lock
5) Outriggers should be inspected prior to next use
6) Barricading should remain in place around the crane and any work area
deemed necessary
