ASK, ‘WHAT IF …?’
It is important to try to anticipate how human
behavior, plant, and system failures could
combine to create a hazardous situation.
Constantly ask yourself “What if?…”

THREATS
Crane Maintenance - controls do not respond to operator
Faulty strops/slings - break under load
Operator competency - judgement errors
non compliance with procedures
Banksman competency - judgement errors

Personal Protective
Equipment
•Equipment worn by an employee that is
designed to prevent injury or illness
from a specific hazard
•PPE devices alone should not be relied
on to provide protection against
hazards, but should be used in
conjunction with engineering controls,
guards, and sound work practices
