Cranesafe Crane Safety Inspections
Extensive experience in all facets of crane operations allows us to offer a consulting service which includes inspections for individual site or workcover approvals, valuations and expert opinions in legal matters.
CraneSafe NSW was launched in March 2003. It is a voluntary assessment program initiated by the NSW mobile crane industry.
CraneSafe NSW administers the program and it is guided by a Steering Committee consisting of representatives from the Crane Industry Council of Australia, Crane Association of NSW and the CFMEU.
Independent, competent persons, approved by the Committee (not CraneSafe) will carry out annual inspections and issue the certificates.
While the program is voluntary, crane owners and users in NSW have a duty of care under the NSW OH&S Act 2000 to ensure that the mobile cranes are in a safe condition. Part of that duty of care requires that mobile cranes with a capacity greater than 10T be registered annually with WorkCover NSW. As part of the registration process, the person in control/ owner of the crane must make a statement that the crane has been maintained and is safe to operate. WorkCover would expect that the crane is inspected and maintained in accordance with the requirements in the Australian Standard for the safe use of mobile cranes. The CraneSafe assessment, which aligns with the Australian Standard 12- month inspection criteria, can assist a person in making that statement.
Pace Cranes currently have 2 CraneSafe endorsed assessors.
