Safe Lifting Operations and Preventing Falling Objects

Step Change in Safety is committed to making our sector the safest place to work by preventing predictable incidents, working with our colleagues in the industry to achieve that. With that in mind, in 2021 we will be introducing quarterly safety themes which will focus on a different topic every three months.

From April until June, the emphasis is on reinforcing awareness and techniques around Safe Lifting Operations and Preventing Falling Objects in order to reduce the potential for incidents in these areas.

🔺 Improve hazard awareness of lifting tasks and potential dropped objects

🔺 Increase detail of specific task risk assessment

🔺 Standardisation of to crane maintenance inspection

During each quarter our workgroups and support team will be producing a range of tools that will seek to engage, educate, reinforce and validate understanding.
