Only trained and authorised persons are permitted to operate the plant Prior to setting up the operator and the designated banks man will assess the ground conditions for stability to prevent subsidence. The crane will be set up as close to the lift area as possible to avoid over reaching. The crane operator will not attempt to lift outside the specified crane capacity The load should always be Kept close to the ground The crane operator should maintain a steady speed during the operation Ground conditions : The crane company you have elected to use can give you suitable words to the effect that the ground on which the cranes will operate from are capable of supporting the weight of the cranes and load. Crane outriggers will use ground mats and supporting grillages to provide additional support. Where possible an exclusion zone should be erected to segregate the work area from other plant. Setting up will be under the control of the banksman. The banksman should ensure there is adequate space between the crane and any structures and take into account the swing radius. Before starting the crane operator shouldS carry out a trial run to ensure there is adequate room.

All instructions to the excavator operator will be given by the banks man (where possible this will be with the use of 2 way radios)

The crane operator will ensure that the plant is never left running or a load suspended when he is not in attendance. The operator will ensure the keys are removed and the cab doors locked when he is on a break or at the end of his shift Ensure suitable barriers are erected around the lift. Ensure suitable warning signs are attached around the lift area. Ensure a permit to lift is obtained. Ensure the load is fully braced before lifting.

Ensure each lift is planned and assessed, avoid double handling of materials. Ensure the route to be travelled is free from obstacles or hazards and has adequate lighting.

6

Look at the individual and their capabilities (ensure they are capable of lifting or moving the load). Assess the load for size, shape, weight, and stability before it is moved. Never try to lift above your own capabilities.

If moving heavy or obscure loads use more than 1 person (one person should give the lifting instruction). Ensure that the correct handling techniques are used such as – keeping the load close to the body, keep feet shoulder width apart, and avoid twisting or stooping. Avoid carrying heavy or obscure loads up or down stairs. Never carry heavy loads up or down ladders.

Ensure that only trained and authorised persons are permitted to operate plant and equipment. Ensure that reversing vehicles are fitted with audible warning systems, where this is not possible provide a banksman to direct the operator. Provide High Viz Vests to the workforce so they are more visible to the operators of plant.
