2. Scope of Work
This assessment covers the installation of two 10-ton capacity overhead cranes in Workshop A. Tasks include unloading the crane components, assembling the cranes, lifting the components using a hoist, securing the cranes to the overhead rails, and conducting operational testing. This assessment aims to ensure the safety of all workers involved in these tasks and prevent accidents. The installation process is scheduled to last from January 20 to January 28, 2080.
3. Hazard Identification
Task/Activity |
Hazard Description |
---|---|
Receiving crane components |
Falling crane components during unloading, especially from trucks or overhead delivery. |
Assembling crane parts |
Risk of pinch points, cuts, and crush injuries due to mechanical parts and assembly tools. |
Lifting the crane using a hoist |
Equipment failure causes the load to fall, or workers to be caught between crane and structure. |
Securing crane to rails |
Falls from height during crane rail installation, slip and trip hazards due to wet surfaces. |
Testing crane operation |
Electrical shock from malfunctioning electrical components, risk of mechanical failure during load testing. |
Crane operational adjustments |
Incorrect calibration leads to crane malfunction, and overloading during operational trials. |

5. Control Measures
Hazard |
Existing Controls |
Proposed Controls |
Responsible Party |
---|---|---|---|
Falling crane components |
Workers are trained on proper lifting techniques and crane unloading procedures. Safety barriers are in place during unloading. |
Ensure that all crane components are secured properly with no obstructions before unloading begins. Provide spotters during unloading. |
Clara Jones (Ops Manager) |
Pinch and crush injuries |
Workers are equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety boots. |
Conduct regular tool checks to ensure equipment is safe. Pre-task safety briefings. |
Peter Tan (Maintenance) |
Dropped load |
Certified hoists and load-bearing equipment are used. A pre-lift inspection is mandatory. |
Regular checks for hoist functionality. Ensure cranes are loaded within their rated capacity. |
Tom White (Crane Specialist) |
Falls from height |
Fall arrest systems and harnesses are provided for workers working above 6 feet. Railings and guardrails installed. |
Increase installation of fall arrest systems on temporary scaffolding and overhead workstations. |
Clara Jones (Ops Manager) |
Electrical shock |
All electrical equipment is grounded, and certified for use. A lock-out/tag-out system is enforced. |
Increase the frequency of electrical system inspections. Install electrical fault indicators. |
Lisa Green (Electrical Engineer) |
Crane malfunction |
Cranes undergo a 5-point safety check before use, including mechanical and electrical components. |
Perform post-installation testing and adjustments. Add real-time performance monitoring systems. |
