Crane work risk assessment / method statement


Greenhorn
 Share

Recommended Posts

Evening all,

 

We are carrying out some work next week using a crane. Rather than a contract lift, we are going down the CPA hire route. Basically this will save the customer the best part of £1100, all we need to do is make sure our hired-in insurance covers the cost of the crane (which it does) and provide the risk assessments and method statements. I was wondering if anyone has access to a template for these, and if so, would they mind sharing them with me? Obviously I'd change all relevant details relating to the specifics.

 

TIA

A purchase worth considering 


A source of publications, guidance notes and leaflets for arboriculturists. Competitively priced available to members...

Whilst the AA generic risk assessments cover crane use it wouldn't meet the needs discussed here as it only a very simple one.

why would you save the client £1100 and take on all the risk yourself?

 

ive CPA hired in the past but would only  ever contract lift these days. it’s refreshing just turning up onsite and dealing with the tree rather than worrying about the crane. on a contract lift if the crane company turns up, doesn’t make you sign anything, doesn’t check for drains or suitability of  surface etc or a multitude of other things it’s not your problem 

 

 

edit

 

I also own and operate a 26m merlo roto so have my own lift plan/ method statement/risk assessment which i do for each site

Saving clients money would be at the bottom of my priority list if the job is so complicated that it needs a crane 😶

 

Somethings you shouldn't save money on. Contract lift all the way. 

 

Reevaluate and consider this decision very carefully.
