Course Overview

A procedure for crane and hoist risk assessment that people cannot follow under time pressure is not a control. Safety performance on risk assessment degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in the occupational health and safety capability, not around theory headings. What blocks progress on crane and hoist risk assessment is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this part of occupational health and safety under scrutiny. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of risk assessment rather than to abstract argument. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better crane and hoist risk assessment is rarely technical. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with risk assessment. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of occupational health and safety rather than a set of notes.
