The law says that all lifting operations involving lifting equipment must be properly planned by a competent person; appropriately supervised; and carried out in a safe manner.
Cranes and lifting accessories such as slings must be of adequate strength, tested and subject to the required examinations and inspections.
All crane operators, and people involved in slinging loads and directing lifting operations, must be trained and competent.
There are four key aspects to the safe use of cranes:
• Planning lifting operations
• Safe systems of work
• Supervision of lifting
• Thorough examination
