All Cranes will be fitted with the following Safety Devices - As per the Code of Construction Safety Practice of 61/1991 (chapter 6.4 A)

PAGE No 12 of 13
DATE 05/01/2017
A Brake or other device capable of holding the maximum mass should the power fail, or which is such that it will automatically prevent the
uncontrolled downward movement of the load when the raising effort is interrupted; and
A Limiting device which will automatically arrest the driving effort when:
The Hook or Load attachment point of the Power Driven lifting machine reaches its highest safe position; and in the case of a Winch
Operated lifting machine with a lifting capacity of 5000 kg or more: the load is greater than the rated mass load of such machine.
No user shall use or permit any person to use a Jib-Crane with a lifting capacity of 5000 kg or more at a minimum Jib radius, unless it is
provided with:
A load indicator that will indicate to the operator of the Jib-Crane the mass of the load being lifted, provided that such a device shall not
require manual adjustment from the application of the load, to the Jib-Crane, until the release of the load.
A Limiting Device which will automatically arrest the driving effort whenever the load being lifted is greater than the rated mass load of the
Jib-Crane.
The user shall ensure that every lifting machine is operated by an Operator specifically trained for a particular type of lifting machine;
provided that in case of fork lift trucks with a lifting capacity of 750 kg or more, and Jib-Cranes with a lifting capacity of 5000 kg or more at
minimum Jib-radius; the user shall not require or permit a person to operate such lifting machine unless the operator is in possession of a
certificate of training, issued by a person or organisation approved for the purpose by the chief inspector.
Acceptance of cranes on site
No Crane will be used at arrival on Site before copies of all documentation have been handed over to the Safety Co-ordinator and the
Crane have been checked by a person dually authorised by him and signed off as acceptable.
1. Copies of all documentation will be kept in the Crane at all times.
