Recommendations

 All equipment must be thoroughly inspected before operation, it must be certified by approved third party
consultants.

The importance of education and training must not be underestimated. With the relevant information and training,
employees are made aware of what to look out for and avoid, especially line of fire. These are hazards that need to
be actively identified and avoided. This will help minimize recurrence of serious incidents in the future.

Employees need to be spatially aware of their surroundings and ongoing activities at all times. They need to
actively avoid working under suspended booms.

Adequate communications must be ensured at all times between all parties involved in a task. This includes
verbal (toolbox talks and stand downs) and written, in the form of method statements and TRA’s. All persons
involved in the undertaking of an activity need to sign the daily toolbox talks and TRA’s, conducted in the appropriate
languages, to show that they have attended, are aware of and understand all hazards and risks involved with a task as
well as the steps to take to minimize them. All written documentation needs to be updated regularly and approved to
ensure newly found risks are identified and mitigated in a timely manner.
