    Risk Assessment III

    Uploaded by

    Josh Booth
    This document summarizes a risk assessment for lifting steel beams. It identifies 9 potential hazards, including vehicle collisions, crane overturning, lifting point failure, power failures, falling objects, and falls from height. For each hazard, it lists the persons at risk, potential consequences which range from minor injury to death, and risk level on a scale of 1 to 25. Control measures are provided to reduce the likelihood and severity of injuries for each hazard. The overall risks were deemed medium or low after controls except for strong winds which was rated high risk.

    Vehicle to be guided by banksman in high visibility jackets. Vehicle to not exceed 5mph. Hazard lights to be turned on whilst moving. Ground conditions to be checked before lift. Correct loading capacity of crane checked against load weight. Check that the lifting equipment is rigged and fitted correctly as planned between load and crane hook Check that all power cables have been removed or covered with rubber protectors. Check that the crane is serviced and operates fully before attempting lift. Organise an exclusion zone for the area below and around the lifting locus and erection position Confirm the system of signals to be used and brief the lift team on the plan for the operation Organise an exclusion zone for the area below and around the lifting locus and erection position Check the weather forecast and wind speed on site before lifting. Organise an exclusion zone for the area below and around the lifting locus and erection position Ensure that all erectors are wearing fall arrest equipment and cherry pickers are operating correctly. Ensure that arrangements are complete at the erection position to receive the load Confirm the system of signals to be used and brief the lift team on the plan for the operation
