RISK ASSESSMENT
QPP147 (Contents/Introduction) Page 1 (Revised Mar 07)
As manufacturer of plant in Australia, Terex Lifting Pty. Ltd. is providing this
information, regarding hazard identification, risk assessment and recommendations on
risk control measures to be taken:
The information provided in this document is sourced from the manuals provided by
Terex Franna (the designer/manufacturer), and attachment manufacturers and from the
experience of technical personnel from Terex Franna and industry consultants.
Whilst the information in hazard identification, risk assessment and risk control
measures is not exhaustive, Terex Franna believes that the manual provides practical
guidance for the safe operation of the crane, provided that the crane is used in
accordance with the designers/manufacturer's recommendation for which the plant is
designed and manufactured.
A generic assessment has been carried out for classes or types of plant that have
similar functions and productive capacity and the procedures carried out for the class
of plant do not result in any person being subject to a different risk than if the
procedures were carried out for each individual item of plant. Any variations of
individual models of plant from the generic hazards will be identified if required.
This report identifies all the pre-operational, operational and post-operational hazards
and associated risk controls for all model Franna Cranes. In addition, hazards
associated with attachments are also included together with the recommended risk
controls.
This section lists the potential hazards and risk control precautions that should be
observed when operating or maintaining the Franna cranes.
The points raised here must be fully understood and observed to work safely. Read
and understand the operation and maintenance manuals.
Further precautions may be necessary due to the attachments in use or the site
conditions.
The user should re-evaluate the site conditions because the working environment has a
major
influence on the risk associated with the use of the plant.
