Typical hazards & measures
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.
Communication failures
— Provide all team members with reliable two-way radios and ensure they are fully charged before each shift. Standardize hand signals and train personnel in their use. Conduct pre-shift communication checks and appoint a communication leader to relay critical updates.
Improper crane setup
— Adhere to the manufacturer’s setup instructions, including base leveling and counterweight placement. Use qualified technicians for assembly and conduct load tests before starting operations. Inspect the setup regularly for stability and compliance.
Inadequate lighting
— Install portable floodlights and fixed lighting systems in key operational areas. Use lighting with anti-glare covers to prevent blinding operators. Conduct site surveys during low-light conditions to identify and address dark spots.
Fatigue among operators
— Implement rotational shift patterns to prevent overwork. Enforce mandatory breaks and provide ergonomic seating in crane cabins. Monitor operators for signs of fatigue and ensure hydration and nutrition support during long shifts.
