The document outlines safety protocols for lifting operations, emphasizing risk assessment and the creation of standard operating procedures. It mandates a crane maintenance schedule, operator training permits, and specifies that only essential personnel should be present during lifts, while maintaining a safe distance from suspended loads. Additional guidelines include establishing load weights and crane specifications before operation and ensuring minimum clearance from obstructions.

1. Assess the risks of all
lifting operations and
develop standard
operating procedures
for all routine lifts
Produce and
complete regular
crane maintenance
schedule
All crane operators must
be issued with permits
following successful
completion of training
Only essential
personnel should be
present during the
lifting operation
NEVER allow people to
be below a suspended
load at any time!
2 meters
2meters
ONE TO ONE RULE:
All personnel should be two meter
away from the load for every
meter the load is above the floor
MOBILE CRANES
Always establish the
weight of the load, the
length of the crane boom
and the angle of
elevation before
operation
Establish minimum
clearing distances from
obstructions such as
power lines
Never move a mobile
crane with a
suspended load
