Introduction to company’s aims and objectives

As the Health & Safety Manager for the crane company. I’m here by required to do a detailed

report for the Dutch Health and Safety authority listing all the sequential steps taken by

following the accident.

This document will provide a detailed Risk Assessment and Method Statement explaining how

our company is going to remove cranes from the water and buildings with minimum impact to

all local shops and residence. Main objective of this report is to analyse specific construction

related safety problems and identify the key issues to be addressed in the solution of such

problems.

Alphen aan den Rijn on the 3rd of August 2015

Accident summary report

20 people were injured in the town of Alphen aan den Rijn after two cranes lifting a bridge

section toppled on to three houses, clothing store and art and drawing supplies store. The cranes

that were working from barges, were renovating the Queen Juliana Bridge, the two tower

cranes on a barge began to shift and toppled over on to a row of houses, slamming through the

buildings and sending a cloud of dust. Following images will show technical drawings of the

barges and cranes before the accident.

Figure 0.1Image presenting The barge that the cranes was placed on


Figure 0.2 The angels the crane was sitting on before the fall.

Figure 0.3 Showing the estimate dimensions of the positioned cranes, bridge and barge.



Site location

The proposed removal of the cranes is positioned in the Westside of the Ouede Rijn in Alphen

ann rijn , Nederland’s.

Figure 1. The location of the accident site as seen from google maps

Figure 1. The location of the accident site as seen from google maps


Scope of works

Site investigation - walk the site, check if qualifications of operatives are valid and

appropriate to the works to be carried out on site’ and obtain all necessary permits and

establish traffic management plan.

Divert pedestrian traffic via a temporary pedestrian crossing to the west, east and north.

Site setup – Erect traffic barriers, fencing, signage, get required plant and equipment

to site and establish welfare and storage facilities.

Establish Crane positions for the removal by means of anchors points, best structural

stability and ordering of the Main boom of 700 tons Terex AC700 lifted onto pontoon.

Barge will be hired to provide a working platform on the water for the duration of the

works for attaching the necessary cables for lifting the crane.

Two telescopic mobile cranes will arrive and be fixed to the fallen cranes first as they

lay on top of the bridge section and will be attached

In order to carry out this operation the existing barge will be used for lowering the

pieces of crane on stable position out of the water.

The crane will then begin the operation of lifting the cranes out by pieces. Starting with

the steam of the fallen cranes and then the vehicle.

Upon completion Structural Engineer will inspect lifting of the bridge section that is

associated with works;

Cranes will be dispatched off site

Bridge section will be lifted and positioned on the built barge structure as before the

accident that will be located where the fallen barges used to sit.

Houses supported by shoring / demolish dangerous buildings.

Make good road and footpath.

All materials and equipment will be removed from site.

Site clean-up and removal of site facilities and fencing and other associated equipment.

Client Inspection/snags.

Handover.


Site specific Safety Plan

Site Security

It is proposed to fence off Site area with fencing with crash barriers facing the road this

measure is to provide protect site operatives and members of the public by segregating traffic

from site operations; Details of which will be in our traffic management plan for the project.

In addition, 24 hour site security will be provided for the duration of the project given the

location of the site and its proximity to the river and vehicular traffic in the area. The security

officer will ensure that no unauthorised personnel may enter the work area during the clean-

up and that all visitors to site sign in at the site office at that stage they will be accompanied

to the works area with authorised personnel.

A security hut will be positioned at the main entrance to the site. The security officer’s roles

will include:

Ensuring that only permitted personnel and deliveries are allowed access to the site.

Maintain detailed records of all people entering and leaving the site.

Communicate all site hazards with personnel entering the site and make them aware of

the risks associated with the works in progress.

Security of the site against theft and vandalism.

Ensure adequate lighting and appropriate safety signage is in place.

Ensure that plant and equipment is secured where applicable.

Site rules & emergency procedures

Designated Safe assembly areas will be provided for emergencies. All personnel will be

required to attend site specific induction training prior to working on site.

During the induction training they will be advised on any safety issues and site specific hazards.


Welfare facilities & First aid

Welfare facilities will be provided on-site to meet the requirements of HAS authority

Specific items that will be included are:

Potable drinking water;

Porta-loos (given the lack of useable site space);

Canteen/meeting/induction room;

Changing facilities/Drying room.

A designated First Aiders will be appointed to deal with minor accidents on site. If the First

Aider is unable to deal with an injury, the emergency services will be contacted.

Operatives will be made aware of the Site First Aider on site and the location of first aid

equipment which will include a defibrillator in accordance with company policy.

Sit access

It is proposed to liaise with the local authorities when planning deliveries of heavy plant,

equipment or materials to site, this measure is to provide a safe passage for operatives and to

ensure the safety of pedestrians and other road users.

This will entail lane and footpath closures for the duration of the works, Warning signage on

approach to the site entrance, additional lighting after dark and road supervision when required,

during peak periods, to allow safe movement of traffic.

A designated set-down area for staff vehicles will be provided for off lading of tools and

equipment but parking will not be provided given the lack of useable site space.


Transport

Hazards associated with traffic and transport will be controlled in the form of liaison with local

authorities.

Other issues that require attention in order to insure a safe passage to site include:

A route survey will be carried out to ensure the safe passage of oversized loads to the

site such as the delivery of the cranes;

To avoid any major disruption, experienced banks persons will be used. These

personnel will exercise proper signalling techniques during the deliveries of large loads

to Site.

Road preparation such as marking realignment will be carried out as required in

accordance with the traffic management plan.

Date & time of deliveries will be check against local events.

Consultation and notification of possible road closure/diversion strategies will be put

in place in advance for delivery of any large loads.

A temporary Pedestrian crossing will be set up to divert pedestrian traffic approaching the site.

Pedestrians will be diverted across the road safety at a temporary level crossing which will be

sign posted accordingly.

Crash barriers and fences will be erected around site to protect members of the public from site

operations and site personnel form vehicular traffic.


Traffic management plan


Required plant and equipment

Mobile welding unit

This will be used when the fallen cranes stem will have to be removed from the main vehicle.

Also if necessary welded on supports will be placed on cranes for to lift them safely. This is

the preferred choice for this site.

Only qualified, competent personnel will operate this machine. A check will be carried out to

determine when it was last tested/serviced and a visual inspection will be caries out to check

for damage or wear on any cabling and to safety devices are working.

Grinder

Electric grinder will be selected as to remove the steam from the fallen crane vehicle. Also if

found necessary the cables that have been stranded under the bridge section will have to be

removed.

Some of the safety devices the grinder must provide are:

Anti kick back;

Restart protection - Prevents the grinder restarting after a power cut;

Anti rotation guard - Prevents the guard moving should a disc shatter;

Vibration control;

Start current limitation or soft start.


Life jackets & Harness

These will be worn by all other operatives and visitors on site due to the sites proximity to the

water.

Certification will be checked on all life jackets and on each harness. In addition, the harness

will be checked for grease on the linings and will be inspected routinely for damage and wear

along with the other life jackets.

Barge HEBO P12

Will be hired so that the cranes can be transported off site and for the duration of the works. It

will access the cranes from the north as seen in figure 3. It will allow to have a safe platform

for workers to grind and weld off the crane stem from a stable and adjustable platform when

installing the fixing points, to the fallen crane.


Floating buck

The Crane will be hired for the duration of the project. This crane is an excellent choice for this

project as it has slewing capabilities and can travel with a load. This feature offers a lot more

mobility as it will be located on the river which take up a lot of the limited, available site space

that is not being used. Its long span over the barge and the fallen cranes will allow extra reach

and can lift heavy loads of up to 300 tones

Telescopic Crane MAMMOET

The Crane three cranes will be a for the duration of works on site that will be located on land.

Their main purphose will be to assist the Barge crane and for the banksman to direct the cranes.

Telescopic craneoffers a lot more mobilityaround the site and has sufficient ground to stand on

thee crane, requires a solid base to operate safely. This is provided by the existing roadway

that, as part of the contract, will be re-surfaced upon completion of the works.


Risk assessment


What is a Risk assessment?

Risk assessments are an essential tool for the implementation of good health and safety

management. Risk Assessment is where the severity of the Hazard and its potential outcomes

are considered in conjunction with other factors including the level of exposure and the

numbers of persons exposed and the risk of that hazard being realised.

Additionally, all employers regardless of the size of the business are required to carry out a risk

assessment at their place of work and to keep a written record of the risk assessment for each

job for the purpose of possible inspection by the Health and Safety Authority.

Risk Assessment aims

The Aim of a Risk Assessment is to demonstrate the company’s ability to identify hazards in

the workplace or those that are associated with a particular task and in turn assess the risk and

outline the recommended control measures to be adopted. These findings are presented in a

written format, in simple language, in order for them to be fully understood by those who are

going to carry out the task.

‘Risk’ is defined as the likelihood that a person may be harmed or suffers adverse health effects

if exposed to a hazard

What are control Measures


The process of risk assessment

In carrying out risk assessments employers must look closely at what or what activities could

cause harm to their employees, visitors and members of the public and in determine the

appropriate control measures to be implemented to reduce or minimise the risk.

Risk Assessment classification

The following table indicates the classification of a ‘Hazard’ and a ‘Risk’.

Method statement


Introduction

A method statement is a way of documenting the hazards involved in carrying out specific

tasks and in turn communicating the risk and precautions required to all personnel involved.

The statement should not be complicated or longer than necessary to achieve these objectives.

Method Statements are for the benefit of those carrying out the work and their immediate

supervisors therefore they should be clear and written in simple language suited to those

carrying out the operations and should not be over complicated.

Equipment needed for safe working should be identified and made available before work starts.

The Method Statement should be updated as the work proceeds and personnel should be

informed and trained if their required work methods need to be changed.

Permit to work systems (PTWS)

PTW systems set out systematically the works to be carried out, the hazards involved and the

precautionary measures to be employed.

Situations where PTWS are necessary include:

1. Hot works such as Welding and the use of a grinder.

2. Working in confined spaces. Such as Excavations.

3. Crane Operations.

4. Working at heights.

The employer should document in the safety statement what work activities require a permit to

work system and details of which will be noted on the site specific Method Statement.

Employers must also need to consider the associated regulations and codes of practice related

to the task.

The Method Statement for the Salvage crane and bridge section are details of the following:

• The Project (location, duration etc.).

• Personnel Involved.

• The required Key Plant, Tools and Equipment.

• Specific Identified Residual Hazard.

• Specific staff training and details of permits to work.

• Sequence of operations.

• Access, Egress and Traffic management.

• Fall protection procedures.

• Hazardous substances and storage of same.

• PPE First Aid & Hospital Information.

Traffic Management

As seen in the traffic management plan it is proposed to fence off with crash barriers

employed for the duration of works. Signage will be erected on and around site for the

information of personnel and members of the public. A temporary pedestrian crossing

will divert pedestrians across the road. A construction vehicle staging area will be

located to the east at site vehicle entrance. Vehicles, after being security cleared will

reverse into site and upon completion of delivery/collection will exit via same entrance.

Pedestrian entrance will be to the west beside accommodation area.

Crane Operations of lifting plan

The project supervisor will ensure that all members of the appointed crane team employed to

salvage the section on site are fully aware of their roles and duties, and that each person has

sufficient knowledge, training and experience to carry out their work safely. Records of

training and experience will be verified and their details will be retained in the site safety file.

Lift supervisor will supervise and co-ordinate all lifting activities in accordance with the Lift

Plan. This person will brief all lifting team members i.e., crane operators, slingers and

appointed banks person on each lift. Project supervisor will be responsible for the planning,

risk control measure and safe lifting procedure before they commence the lifting operation.

The Lift supervisor will ensure that a permit is issued by the project manager before he instructs

his team to carry out any lifting operation on site. The Lift supervisor will brief the lift team

members on the Lift Plan before commencement of any lifting operation and can stop the lifting

operation.

Bridge section lifted in bracket using 3 cranes. Salvage cranes being transported off site.

Conclusion

The crane and bridge section should go smoothly as all risks have been identified and the

likelihood that a person may be harmed or suffers adverse health effects being eliminated in

this statement.

All employers are required to carry out a risk assessment at the site and to keep a written record

of that risk assessment for each job. The main reasons why risk assessments are carried out are

to prevent financial costs associated, moral/ ethical and the legal reasons.

Carrying out a risk assessment, preparing a method statement and their implementation are

required by law under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.Risk assessments are

an essential tool for the implementation of good health and safety management. In carrying out

Risk assessments the severity of the Hazard and its potential outcomes are considered in

conjunction with other factors, these include, the level of exposure and the numbers of persons

exposed and the risk of that hazard being realised.

Risk Assessments are to demonstrate the company’s ability to identify hazards in the workplace

or such that are associated with a particular task and, in turn outline the recommended control

measures to be adopted. These findings are presented in a written format, in simple language

appropriate to the persons who are to carry out the task.

After identifying the risk or hazards, employers must adopt control measures to reduce or

remove the potential of an operative’s exposure to a particular Hazard or reduce the likelihood

of the risk of the exposure to that hazard being realised.


A method statement is a way of documenting the hazards involved in carrying out specific

tasks and in turn communicating the risks and precautions required to all personnel involved

in the work. The statement should again, not be complicated and be written in simple language

appropriate to the personnel whom are carrying out the tasks.

In line with the Method statement, Equipment needed for safe working should be identified

and made available before work starts. The Method Statement should be updated if necessary,

as the work proceeds and Personnel should be informed if their work methods need.

Permit to work systems are written systems to protect workers in dangerous areas. They set out

systematically the works to be carried out, the hazards involved and the precautionary measures

to be employed.
