Inadequate crane team
Before controls3 HighControlsAssess the size and complexity of the work to be undertaken
Determine the crane crew required for the task. Consider:
Number of operators and doggers required
Number of riggers required for the activities
Whether a trained safety observer is required for maintaining electrical exclusion zones
Whether a crane coordinator should be appointed.
After controls2 ModerateResponsible- Supervisor
- Hazard
Lack of training resulting in injuries & fatalities
Before controls4 AcuteControlsAll operators have the appropriate Heavy Vehicle licence for mobile crane
The operator holds a valid certificate to operate such a crane – e.g. C2 for cranes with a capacity up to 20 tonnes; C6 up to 60 tonnes; C1 up to 100 tonnes, and C0 greater than 100 tonnes
Operation – High-Risk Work Licence
E.g. Crane – Self-erecting tower crane
E.g. Dogman – Dogging
E.g. Rigger – Basic rigging - Intermediate rigging - Advanced rigging
Ensure relevant workers have undertaken training and received instruction in the use of control measures. Include:
Appropriate mathematical procedures for estimation and measurement of loads
