Riggers: Weather the Storm Safely! ⛈️ Heavy rain, snow, and fog can significantly impact rigging operations. Safety is paramount when working in these conditions. Here's what you need to know: • Reduced visibility: Poor visibility can hinder communication and make it difficult to assess the situation. • Slippery conditions: Wet surfaces increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls. • Equipment damage: Water can damage electrical components and hydraulic systems. • Foundation instability: Heavy rain and snow can weaken the ground, affecting crane stability. If the weather is severe, it's best to postpone the lift. When conditions improve, take extra precautions: • Inspect equipment thoroughly for water damage. • Check for slippery surfaces and take appropriate measures to improve traction. • Communicate clearly with your team to ensure everyone is aware of the risks. Remember: Safety always comes first. #rigging #safety #weather #adverseconditions #lifting #northsea #bp #kuwaitoffshore #kuwait #qatarenergy #adnoc #adnocuae #bapco #saudiaramco #hse #safety #construction #lifting #pdooman #dukam

Operating a crane? Keep your crew safe with these essentials: ⚠️ Trained crew & certified operators ⚠️ Regularly inspected cranes & equipment ⚠️ Safe load limits - don't overload! ⚠️ Secure & stable loads - prevent shifting ⚠️ Watch the weather - stop work in bad conditions ️⚠️ Clear communication with crew ⚠️ Stable ground - use mats or outriggers ⚠️ Stay clear of power lines - avoid electrocution ⚠️ Regular maintenance keeps cranes running smoothly ⚠️ Regular risk assessments to identify & fix hazards Our blog dives deeper! Head to our website for a complete guide to safe crane operation. #CraneSafety #Construction #ExpressCrane

🚨 Crane Safety Alert! 🚨 A serious incident involving a crane collapse due to factors like overloading and unstable outriggers. 😟 In this scenario, not only was the operator seated in the cabin, but a nearby worker was also in danger. Fortunately, the operator managed to jump from the cabin just before the crane overturned, but this incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety measures in crane operations. 🔍 Key Safety Tips: #Always check load limits before operation. #Ensure outriggers are stable and properly set up. #Maintain clear communication with ground personnel. #CraneSafety #ConstructionSafety #WorkplaceSafety #PreventAccidents #SafetyFirst #StaySafe

Please, Risk Assessment is Very Important. Get Guided by a Compatible Risk Assessment. Do and Implement Risk Assessment, Pay Attention to the Load Stability as it Always Change Depending with Angle and the Speed (Maneuvering) of the Lift...🤔

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠! 🎥 Four online sessions for our client in Australia; a customised course for their dredging supervisors. 👷♂️ The participants usually work out in the field, but during these sessions they come together in the (home) offices and expand their knowledge about numerous topics, such as hydraulic transport, CSD maintenance & docking, and more. 📚 #dredgingcourse #lifelonglearning #dredgetraining

Poor balancing of the outriggers can lead to instability, causing the crane to tip over or collapse during lifting operations. If the outriggers are not correctly positioned or fail to support the crane adequately, even a small shift in the load can have catastrophic consequences. Incompetence in the lifting plan may result in improper assessment of load weight, positioning, and environmental factors, increasing the risk of accidents. A poorly devised lifting plan might overlook critical details such as ground conditions, wind speed, or the crane's operational limits, which could all contribute to a dangerous situation. Ensuring proper balancing, competent planning, skilled operation, and careful load management are essential to preventing accidents and ensuring the safe and efficient use of cranes. #riskassessment #methodassessment #safetyfirst #safetyawareness #safetyatwork #workplacesafety #safetytraining #safetyculture #liftfails #safetyfails #craneoperations #craneaccident #hseprofessionals #osha #occupationalhealthandsafety #ppe #processsafety #psm

In the world of heavy lifting 💪, being a crane operator is no easy task—it's both challenging and critical 🏗️. But one important responsibility often overlooked is assessing ground conditions before setting up those outrigger pads 🧐. 🌍 Why does this matter? Understanding the ground conditions is crucial for ensuring the stability, safety, and efficiency of crane operations. Cranes put enormous pressure on the ground through their outriggers, and if the ground isn’t solid, it can spell disaster 🚧. Knowing the ground conditions allows operators to take the right steps to distribute the load effectively ⚖️. This is especially vital during heavy lifts or when working on tricky terrains like soft soil or uneven surfaces 🌲🪨. #InjuryPrevention #WorkplaceInjury #SafetyStandards #RiskManagement #SafetyManagement #PPE #SafetyProtocols #WorkplaceProtection

🏗️ Ensuring crane safety on construction sites is essential for the well-being of all workers. Here are some comprehensive guidelines to follow: 🔒 Restricted Access to Designated Areas: Only authorized personnel should be allowed in crane operation zones. 🏋️♂️ Safe Loading and Offloading Procedures: No individuals on trailers or cranes during operations. 🏗️ Proper Crane Setup and Operation: Ensure outriggers are fully extended, lights and sounds are functional, and rearview mirrors are clean. ⚖️ Safe Lifting Practices: Position the hook over the load's center of gravity to prevent tilting. 🌧️ Adverse Weather and Operating Conditions: Avoid crane use in severe weather conditions. 🛠️ Equipment Maintenance and Shutdown Procedures: Follow proper maintenance and secure shutdown protocols. ⛔ Empowerment to Stop Unsafe Actions: Operators should be empowered to halt unsafe practices. Remember, safety is everyone's responsibility! What other safety measures do you think are essential on construction sites? #safety #constructionsafety #safetyfirst #safetyfirst #safetyProfessional

As a general rule, operating cranes in winds greater than 25 mph (40.23 km/h) 11.18 Meters per second - with gusts not surpassing 35 mph (56.32 km/h) is not advisable. For precise wind speed restrictions check the operator manual or the manufacturer's recommendations. An anemometer (wind sensor) checks the wind speed on the spot. #safety #safetytips #safetyfirst #safetyawareness #safetymatters #safetytraining #safetyatwork #safetyculture #safetyofficer #OHS #HSE #construction #constructionsite #constructionwork #constructionlife #constructionmanagement #hazard #HazardousConditions #workplacesafety #WorkplaceSafetyMatters #workplacesafetytraining #rigging #riggingsafety #cranesafety #cranes #cranelifting

"Ensuring safe and efficient material handling with cranes involves key factors: proper equipment selection, rigorous maintenance, skilled operators, and adherence to safety protocols. Always inspect the load, use appropriate rigging techniques, and maintain clear communication on-site to prevent accidents and enhance productivity. #Cranes #SafetyFirst #MaterialHandling"
