Risk assessment and Method statement – this can be genericHowever this must be reviewed by crane supervisor
A lifting team consisting of:- Competent person who prepares the RA & MSSlinger/signaller and Operator (The operator often takes the role of the lift supervisor)

Main issues that can occur during a lift • Lack of planning – the biggest factor • Accessories added to equipment should be added to the
overall lifting weight• Excavators should only be used as cranes if they have the
appropriate lifting attachment • Outriggers and mats • Tyre pressures and wrong tyres • Wind speed• Not finding Centre of gravity before the lift • Shock loading
