Debate | Is there a safety gap in mobile lifting?
A lack of understanding and knowledge about the safety benefits of using crane mats, combined with a need for clearer guidance on assessing working platform suitability, is creating safety challenges for lifting operations using mobile cranes on site.
Lifting operations on construction sites typically factor in a range of considerations – from the choice of crane to possible weather conditions.
But with many lifts using mobile lifting equipment positioned on working platforms, is safety adequately prioritised at ground level?
NCE recently teamed up with construction safety products firm Brilliant Ideas to discuss the safety challenges, along with the importance of having and applying suitable guidance.
