This risk assessment summarizes the hazards, risks, and controls associated with lifting and rigging equipment using a tail lift. Key hazards identified include unskilled workers, improper crane setup, weather conditions like high winds, and damaged lifting gears. Controls involve using skilled and trained workers, properly positioning and leveling the crane, checking weather conditions, and inspecting all lifting equipment and gears. The assessment rates the residual risks as low after controls are implemented and identifies accountable persons for each step.

1. Assess the ground
condition prior to lift.
1. Place crane on leveled/compacted
ground with fully extended outriggers.
2. Provide wooden pads underneath the
float pads of outriggers with area at least
2 times larger than that of float pad area.
4. If the poor ground conditions
encountered change the location.
5. In case of soggy conditions do not
perform the lift.
6. Don’t setup crane outrigger directly
above underground facility.
7. Always provide concrete slabs /ramps
for crossing over surface tubing/pipeline.
