Typical hazards & measures
Inadequate ground conditions
— Conduct soil tests and geotechnical surveys to assess ground stability. Use crane mats or steel plates for ground reinforcement, especially in soft or uneven areas. Ensure the site is cleared of debris to provide a stable base for the crane.
Proximity to other equipment or structures
— Perform a detailed site survey to identify potential obstructions. Plan crane movements to avoid clashes with nearby equipment or buildings. Use spotters and flaggers to guide the crane in tight spaces.
Failure to follow lift plans
— Develop detailed and site-specific lift plans, including load charts, crane positioning, and task sequencing. Conduct pre-lift meetings to review the plan and assign responsibilities. Update plans as necessary to accommodate changing conditions.
Poor weather conditions
— Monitor weather conditions using reliable forecasting tools. Halt operations during high winds, rain, or thunderstorms. Use wind speed indicators and provide sheltered areas for crew safety.
Noise hazards
— Use noise-dampening equipment where possible and ensure operators and crew wear hearing protection like earplugs or earmuffs. Monitor noise levels regularly with decibel meters and schedule breaks to limit prolonged exposure.
