Description
Cranes are one of the most common things to see on a construction site and within a manufacturing or industrial work environment.
They are efficient for lifting and moving heavy loads around. However, cranes can be extremely dangerous if proper caution isn’t taken and controls to ensure safety isn’t implemented.
There are various types of cranes designed for different purposes and common for them all are that there are hazards and risks associated with their use.
According to the law (The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998), all lifting operations involving lifting equipment must be properly planned by a competent person; appropriately supervised; and carried out in a safe manner.
