Hazard Person at Risk Control Measures
Risk (L x S = H, M
or L)
1. Vehicle movement on site, risk of collision withperson or object
Major InjuryDeath
GeneralWorkforce
Vehicle to be guided by banksman in high visibility jackets.
Vehicle to not exceed 5mph.
Hazard lights to be turned on whilst moving.
4.5x3=13.5Medium
2. Crane overturning due to soft ground
Minor InjuryMajor Injury
Death
Crane Operator Lifting Crew
Ground conditions to be checked before lift.
Correct loading capacity of crane checked against load weight.
4x1=4Low
3. Lifting point failureMajor InjuryDeath
Crane Operator Lifting Crew
Check that the lifting equipment is rigged and fitted correctly as plannedbetween load and crane hook
4.5x1=4.5Low
4. Collision with overhead power cables Minor Injury Crane Operator Check that all power cables have been removed or covered with rubber
protectors.
1x2=2Low
5. Power failure of lifting equipment during lifting mode Major InjuryDeath
Crane Operator Lifting Crew
Check that the crane is serviced and operates fully before attempting lift.
Organise an exclusion zone for the area below and around the lifting locusand erection position
4.5x1=4.5Low
6. Collision/impacts of mobile lifting equipment
Major InjuryDeath
Crane Operator Lifting Crew
Confirm the system of signals to be used and brief the lift team on the planfor the operation
Organise an exclusion zone for the area below and around the lifting locusand erection position
4.5x3=13.5Medium
7. Strong wind affecting load movement Major InjuryDeath
Crane Operator Lifting Crew
Check the weather forecast and wind speed on site before lifting.
Organise an exclusion zone for the area below and around the lifting locusand erection position
4.5x3=13.5Medium
8. Falling from height (while connecting steelwork)Major InjuryDeath
Steel Erector Ensure that all erectors are wearing fall arrest equipment and cherry
pickers are operating correctly.
4.5x4=18High
9. Caught between steelwork during fittingMajor InjuryDeath
Steel Erector Lifting Crew
Ensure that arrangements are complete at the erection position to receivethe load
Confirm the system of signals to be used and brief the lift team on the planfor the operation
4.5x3=13.5Medium
Likelihood x Severity
Very Unlikely 1 Minor injury, No time off
Unlikely 2 Injury and up to three days off
Likely 3 Reportable Condition
Very Likely 4 Major Injury/Long term absence
Certain 5 Death
Risk Rating
High =16-25, Medium = 9-15, Low = 1-8
