• Personnel on site during lift and crane activities:

• Risk Scope:
  Scope is limited to single fatality scenarios, including suspended loads and swinging loads. May include loads lifted by mechanical means (e.g. fixed or mobile cranes, forklifts), loads on stands, loading or unloading trucks, loads being transported, jacking loads into place, complicated lifts (e.g. multiple cranes), transferring loads to other lifting devices, overhead cranes. Rigging including ropes, slings chains, restraining devices.

• Control Objective:
  The lift operational area is the entire area affected by the lifting operation. This includes areas such as mobile crane access paths, mobile crane turning areas, slew crane swing area and drop zones. The area also includes external obstacles such as swing or overhead clearance from power lines, buildings and any other objects.
  During initial lift planning, management of the operational area must be considered to identify possible risks and to identify appropriate control measures. This should include control of the operational area and drop zone to restrict access of personnel during a lifting operation.
  Controls may include the use of spotters, barricades or other suitable measures.

Lift Planning and Execution physically separates personnel from the lift operational area and from interaction with non related lifting activities.

• During lifting operations the lift operational area needs to be physically separated to ensure no interaction between non related activities.

• Select 2 lift operations and verify the separation controls include:

• For Fixed Infrastructure, barricading of the lift operational area by fencing, danger tape or chains?

  Yes

  No

Lift Planning and Execution physical interaction between personnel and equipment and objects with the potential to fall within the lift operational area.

• During lifting operation the lift operational area needs to be controlled to ensure that personnel and equipment are physically separated such that the risk of falling objects contacting a person is eliminated.

• Select 2 lift operations and verify the controls include:

• Barricaded drop zones at a minimum of 2 metres beyond the extremity of the load/drop zone when the lift exceeds 1.8 metres?

  Yes
