RISK ASSESSMENT
QPP147 Section 4 Rev. March 07
A7. Mechanical failure through
corrosion from oils contaminated
with water.
A7. When topping up or replacing fuel or hydraulic oil, take care to avoid the entry of water or other
contaminants.
Ensure that the oils are changed regularly according to the instructions in the Franna Service Manual.
A8. Mechanical failure due to the use of
incorrect oils, greases and filters.
A8. Use only genuine Franna approved oils, greases and filters. The use of products not approved by Franna
could void the Franna warranty. Franna will not, in any way accept responsibility for resultant accidents
or breakdowns in the crane caused by the use of unapproved parts and/or products.
A9. Environmental hazards from waste
oil.
A9. Drain waste oil from the crane into a proper container designed for the purpose. Dispose the waste oil in
accordance with the regulations of the state or country. Never allow waste oil or other contaminants to get
into the storm water system, streams, rivers or wetlands.
A10. Slipping from wet floor during
washing.
Cutting from high-pressure steam.
Electrical shock from wet electrical
equipment.
A10. When washing the crane take the following precautions:
a. To prevent slipping wear slip-resistant boots.
b. High-pressure steam can cut skin, and splash dirt into the eyes. Wear suitable personal protective
equipment (such as goggles) when using high-pressure steam.
c. Water sprayed on electrical equipment during washing can cause electrical shock or cause the
equipment to fail. Ensure that all electrical equipment is protected from water over-spray and the
electricity supply is fitted with a Residual Current Devices (RCD) to protect the operator from
electrical shock.
A11. Falling from height. A11. When working at heights take the following precautions:
a. Keep the working area neat and tidy (no tools scattered around).
b. Wipe off any spilled oil or grease and walk carefully.
c. When climbing and descending, use the handgrips and platforms provided. Always support yourself
on at least three points at a time.
d. Consider the use of additional safety devices such as fall arrest systems, lanyards, etc. if appropriate.
