2021 2nd Alert HiPo25 Crane toppled over
A crane operator was in the workshop having some minor panel repairs to his crane, when the mechanic requested that the operator remove the counterweights so he could get access to the broken panel. The operator slewed his boom, picked up the counterweights and when he was slewing his boom back around the crane toppled over due to the operator not extending his outriggers for support.
Crane Operators Always ensure you have your outriggers fully extended when slewing the boom. Always ensure to follow the load chart prior operating the crane. Always ensure a signaller is in place prior operating the crane. Always ensure you do not rush to finish a task, take your time and do it safely. Always ensure you use your empowerment to STOP if you feel that it is unsafe, even if the workshop gives you instructions to do something. Always ensure to consider any warning signals within the cab Workshop Foreman / Mechanics Always ensure you check that all cranes before operated have their outriggers extended as per the load chart. Always ensure you check that all personnel (your staff and others in the area) are out of the line of fire before starting any movement of cranes. Always ensure you conduct a 4CAAP (4 Point Crosscheck, Assure & Accountability Program) before starting tasks
