Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the operation, maintenance, and safety protocols for mobile cranes. Operators must hold the appropriate license, and all dogging and rigging work must be carried out by licensed personnel. Pre-start checks include inspecting booms, jibs, hoses, rams, and safety features such as lights, brakes, and controls. Load charts and logbooks must be available and up to date. Proper PPE, including helmets, eye protection, and high-visibility clothing, is mandatory.

Operational guidelines emphasize assessing site conditions, using pads under outriggers, and avoiding unstable ground. Travel routes must be planned to avoid low bridges and slopes. Load slinging requires the use of approved lifting gear, careful inspection of hooks and slings, and adherence to load capacity limits. Maintenance and repairs must be conducted by authorized personnel, with any structural repairs inspected by certifying authorities before resuming service. These protocols ensure the safe and effective use of mobile cranes.
