Safety Task Evaluation Process CRANE OPERATION ANALYSIS

Problem
Large Lifts are always well organized and equipped managed with a detailed, formal Lift Plan Resulting in no problems Everyday, Routine Crane Operations cause most of our heartaches due to lack of adequate planning.

Mission
To have those employees involved in the hoisting operation to analyze the task, plan the lift, and complete the hazard assessment card as a group to establish good communications and assure job scope understanding.

Expectation
To analyze all lifts Choose wire rope slings where possible rather than fiber or chain Mechanical devices should not be used in a load bearing leg When fitting the load, load may transfer CG may shift Operators and signalmen must maintain continuous and undivided communication

Safety Task Evaluation Process CRANE OPERATION ANALYSIS "our plan for a safe job"

Crane: Date: Time: Crane has been inspected/ safe condition:.YesNo Job Location: Job Description: The weight of the load is: The swing radius of the lift is: Net crane capacity at this radius is: Is operator qualified to operate this crane? Yes Is operators certification card current? Yes Critical lift permit required for this lift? Yes Crane level/outriggers fully extended? Yes Is the rigger qualified for this task? Yes Is sling/hardware in safe condition? Yes Sling sizing/hookup reviewed? Yes Do sharp edges have softeners? Yes Tag lines needed to help control load? Yes Center of gravity of load located? Yes EMERGENCY INFORMATION What is the wind direction? Reviewed emergency alarms/phone numbers Yes Escape route(s): Location of eyebath/shower station: Our evacuation assembly point is: Operator Signature: Rigger Signature: Signalman Signature: Foreman Signature:
