Machine lifting is crucial in so many industries. From the construction world to commercial removals, cranes are a necessary piece of equipment that assists with moving and lifting even the heaviest of items.
The use of cranes and other lifting equipment brings with it a whole host of requirements and regulations. A risk assessment is a vital document which outlines all the identified risks of machine lifting as well as each risk’s likelihood and possible effect. A risk assessment will also crucially look at what can be done to limit the risks occurring. A method statement is also required. This document sets out in detail how the machine lifting will be completed. In a similar way to a risk assessment, it will list the hazards involved in the work as well as the steps taken to minimise risk and improve safety.
Both the risk assessment and method statement are comprehensive documents and many businesses choose to transfer responsibility to a lifting expert, who can not only arrange crane hire London but can also take all responsibility for the lifting paperwork required.
