The Engine Crane Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) outlines step-by-step processes for the safe operation of an engine crane, helping workers manage risks effectively.
It covers the hazards (pedestrians, vehicle and machinery movement, hydraulic failure), the PPE to wear, the daily pre-operational inspection, operator training and competency, maintenance under lockout/tagout, the steps for lifting and lowering an engine, and cleaning.
A hazard checklist for powered non-mobile plant, with Y, N and NA for each item, helps confirm every safety measure is in place.
