WHY INSPECTION ????
WHY INSPECTION ?
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
Third party inspections needed to ensure
that all the products are up to the
needed quality standard and the
manufacturing process itself meets the
international standards in term of
a. QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (ISO
9001)
b. OCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
ISO (45001)
c. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT (ISO
140001)
WHY INSPECTION ?
PUWER REGULATION 6
In 1998, it specifies the circumstances
where inspection is required to ensure
healthy and safe conditions are maintained:
a. Where the safety of work equipment
depends on the installation conditions,
it should be inspected after installation
and before first use, and after
reassembly at any new site / location
b. At suitable intervals, where work
equipment is exposed to conditions
causing deterioration liable to result in
dangerous situations
c. Each time exceptional circumstances
(major modifications, known or
suspected serious damage,
substantial change in the nature of
use) are liable to have jeopardised the
safety of the work equipment
WHY INSPECTION ?
COUNTRY LEGISLATION
 The main law, which governs these issues, is the Chapter
3 of Factories Act, 1934
 Mines Act, 1923
 Workmen Compensation Act, 1923
 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Workers’ Compensation Act, 2013
 Sindh Workers Compensation Act, 2016
 Provincial Employees Social Security Ordinance, 1965
 The Sindh Employees Social Security Act, 2016
 Boilers and Pressure Vessels Ordinance, 2002
 Pakistan Environmental Protection Act, 1997 (Hazardous
Substance Rules, 2003)
WHY INSPECTION ?
COMPANY POLICY
The purpose of an inspection is to identify whether work
equipment is safe for use or not remedied before it results in a
health and safety risk. Not all work equipment needs formal
inspection to ensure safety and, in many cases, a quick visual
check before use will be sufficient. However, inspection is
necessary for any equipment where significant risks to health
and safety may arise from incorrect installation, reinstallation,
deterioration or any other circumstances. The need for
inspection and inspection frequencies should be determined
through risk assessment.

SAFE USE OF MOBILE CRANE
PURPOSE
There are a continuing number of mobile crane
incidents involving crane rollovers, structural failures
and loads falling. Many of these incidents have
occurred due to poor planning of the lifting operation –
often because basic factors have been overlooked.
CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS
Key causes of mobile crane incidents include:
 when the crane has been set up on soft or sloping
ground
 when the crane has been overloaded, making it
unstable.
 when safety-systems have been ignored or over-
ridden
 when the crane makes contact with power lines or
other mobile plant.
WORK METHOD STATEMENTS

The use of a mobile crane can be hazardous particularly as the
complexity of the lift increases. Work method statements need to be
prepared for mobile crane lifting operations and are important for pre-
planning to help reduce the risk of an incident. Where the type of lift is
straightforward and has been undertaken in the past, the work method
statement can be a general statement that applies to more than one
lifting operation. Where the type of lift is more complex and unique, the
work method statement needs to be site specific and comprehensive.
Examples of such higher risk lifts include:
 Tilt-up and pre-cast concrete panel jobs
 Multiple crane lifts
 Lifting of workboxes with personnel
 Installation of bridge beams
 Working near power lines
 Lifting large pressure vessels or tanks
 Cranes used on barges
 Mobile plant retrieval following an incident
 Erection of tower cranes
 Heavy lifts (as defined in the Mobile Crane Code of Practice 2006).
CRANE CONDITION
 Is the crane in good condition?
 Has a pre start safety check been performed? (particularly important in
day/night shift operations)
 Are all features on the crane operating correctly?
 Has the crane received an annual safety inspection?
 Is the correct load chart provided in the crane operator’s cabin? Note: The
computer read out is not enough on its own.
 Does the load chart verify the crane has adequate capacity?
 Is the load chart written in English?
 Have the correct deductions been made to the rated capacity of the crane
based on the load chart notes (i.e. hook block mass, fly jib deduction, etc.)?
GROUND CONDITIONS
 Have enough timbers been placed under the outrigger
feet?
 If the crane is being used in pick-and carry mode, is the
ground hard enough or is the ground slope less than
that allowed by the crane manufacturer?
 If the ground has been recently excavated or if there is
a likelihood of underground services, have precautions
been taken?
 Is the ground dry enough to prevent slipping of pick and
carry cranes or to prevent outriggers slipping?
 If it has rained since the last lift, is the ground still firm
enough?
 Are the ground conditions being monitored as lifting
continues to ensure that outrigger feet are not sinking?
 Has the ground bearing capacity been calculated for
heavy lifts?
 Has the pressure applied by the crane to the ground
been calculated for heavy lifts?
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
 Is the wind speed less than that specified by the crane
manufacturer or an engineer? Note: An engineer may
be required in circumstances where the load has a
large surface area and the wind is likely to make the lift
hazardous.
 In the event of strong winds, rain, fog, dust storm, can it
be assured that it is still safe to carry out the lift? If so,
have the correct precautions been taken?
 If there are live power lines within the operating radius
of the crane, have the correct precautions been taken
to prevent contact?
 If it is claimed that the power lines are reenergised, is
there signed and dated documentation on site verifying
this is the case?
 If there is other mobile equipment within the operating
radius of the crane, have correct precautions been
taken to prevent collision?
 Crane Exhaust should have clear path to evacuate.
LOAD TYPE ISSUES LOAD SECURING

 Does the marked load seem reasonable based on the in different configurations?

 If the lift is with more than one crane, have appropriate
deductions been made to the rated capacity of each
crane? PERSONAL ISSUES

Intermediate rigger supervising the lift?  Does each person involved in the lift understand his or her responsibilities?
 If a workbox is to be lifted are the crane and workbox Note: This is very important where there are multiple doggers or riggers or

 Do all persons involved in the lift hold the appropriate high risk work
licence?
 Has the crane operator received documented familiarisation training for the
crane?
 Is there effective communication between persons involved in the lift?
