Q3 - Safe Lifting, Working at Height & Preventing Dropped Objects

Thorough planning and specific hazard identification for lifting operations, working at height and preventing potential dropped objects will allow hazards to be safely managed.


This quarter’s theme of “Safe Lifting, Working at Height, and Preventing Dropped Objects” is a regular focus area of health and safety teams and is equally relevant to onshore and offshore operations.

Safer Together has developed a range of resources that address the Q3 topic, including:

Load Safe - Chain of Responsibility (CoR)

The Load Safe/CoR Tool is an Industry-led initiative that provides our clear guidance on HVNL CoR legislation requirements that relate to our industry.

Safer Together has developed a tool and resource pack for use by our workforce to address the issue of an increase in load restraint failures across the industry, changes in Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and complexed Chain of Responsibility obligations.

Offshore Crane Inspection and Maintenance Competence Guideline

Developed by our Cranes & Lifting Working Group, the purpose of this Guideline is to provide guidance to operators and service companies with regards to the minimum competence required for offshore crane inspectors and maintenance technicians. It is meant to assist companies in demonstrating that competence for these roles is documented in a uniform manner to meet accepted practice of our member companies.

Safer Together has additional initiatives and supporting resources to address safe lifting, working at height & preventing dropped objects:
