SAFETY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN- CRANE OPERATIONS -

• O. Boettcher, S. Prodon, I. Ruehl
• TS-IC

The respect of crane safety operation zones is
fundamental!
3
WHY NOW?

• The LHC installation enters the busy phase
  regarding logistics and consequently regarding
  transport and handling activities.
• more than 200(!) FTE under DBS contract
• This is aggravated by the lack of adequate
  storage and handling space.
• Crane and/or operator failures are seldom but NOT
  IMPOSSIBLE!

4
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

• CRANE SAFETY OPERATION ZONES ARE OFTEN NOT
  RESPECTED
• NOT FOR PEOPLE
• NOT FOR MATERIAL
• EXAMPLES

WHAT SHALL BE DONE?

• Review the space allocation.
• Take out barracks wherever possible.
• Create a safe place for the loading and unloading
  of trucks, which represents statistically the
  highest risk potential.
• Plan difficult and/or repetitive crane operation
  well in advance.
• Avoid passing over people and/or
  important/expensive/unique material.

28
The crane operators are well informed to respect
the crane safety operation zones but it is
sometimes impossible for them to look behind
walls and into barracks. Therefore we consider
that the requestor for a handling service and the
TSO assures that there are no persons within the
non-visible crane safety operation zone.

We need your help and cooperation in order to
limit the risks!
