RISK ASSESSMENT
QPP147 Section 2 Rev. March 07
B14 Collision with obstacles from
entanglement of wire rope
during hoisting or slewing.
(When hoisting or slewing a
load and the wire rope could
become entangled with an
obstacle)
B14. If the wire rope becomes entangled with an obstacle, carefully disentangle it without further hoisting or
slewing. Place the load back on the ground and check that the wire rope is not damaged before resuming.
B15 Overload and tip over of the
crane by sudden raising or
lowering of the boom.
B15 Lower the load to the ground using the winch. Avoid sudden raising and lowering of the boom as it makes
the crane prone to tipping over.
B16 People falling from height. B16 Only lift people using a Franna approved man basket. A safety harness must be worn. Different states and
countries have different safety regulations and laws. Always observe the laws of the state or country you
are in.
B17 Damage to the boom or tip over
of the crane if the load is not
lifted from a position above its
center of gravity.
B17 Never drag a load sideways, hoist it diagonally or drag it towards the crane. Using boom lowering and
derricking or winch operation to drag the load sideways or lift it diagonally subjects the boom and slewing
mechanism to forces they were not designed for. These additional forces will damage the boom and
slewing mechanism or cause the crane to tip over.
Follow the signaler and lift the load vertically.
