Clear area of trip hazards where practical

otherwise mind your step

Always keep the required safe distance

between the crane and the powerlines using the
distances specified in NSW WorkCover COP
Safe work Near Powerlines

If required to work close to power lines use a

spotter or where possible have the power lines
turned off

Plant to be positioned in area clear of

obstructions / roads

Traffic Control When working within an active

site traffic zone make sure adequate traffic
management is in place

Wear appropriate UV protection (PPE)

Take adequate breaks in shade and air

conditioned vehicles when extended periods of
hot work is required, maintain intake of fluids
(clean cool water)

Insure lighting is sufficient before commencing

work. If lighting is not sufficient obtain artificial
lighting or put job off until lighting is suitable to
continue.

Assess wet and windy weather conditions and

proceed cautiously or cease work accordingly.
