Safe Hoisting & Hazard Assessment

In order to maintain safety, a lift plan must include a hazard assessment. The hazard assessment must cover all pre-operational, operational, and post-operational dangers, as well as related risk controls. When performing a crane lift, a risk assessment highlights possible dangers and risk mitigation steps that must be followed. At Action Crane, we evaluate the risks caused by the identified hazards and the steps that must be taken to mitigate them. Knowing about possible dangers before work starts and taking control steps to minimize risk makes for a safe crane operation. A proper risk assessment will also include additional tasks to mitigate dangers. Specific tasks like road closures and utility shut offs can help achieve a safe lift. Hazards identified will require a means of control or management.

Project Lift Planning

Project lift planning needs to consider multiple factors throughout the entire project as a whole. Project planning is far more complex than that of a single lift. More lifts with more equipment and people can create complications and increase hazards. Oftentimes, projects will require multiple lifts and crane maneuvers using multiple cranes. Sometimes, tandem lifts may be needed, in which two or more cranes pick up the same object at the same time. Because of this, a project lift plan can be extensive. This is where having an experienced lift planner is essential. Action Crane can evaluate your entire project from start to finish. A lift plan for your entire project can then be written up and executed. Careful planning with Action Crane Service Kelowna for your entire project creates a safe and effective operation.
