Here is a risk assessment in a table format for curtain wall module installation using a mini-crane, considering the crane operates on floors above the installation level:

Task/HazardRiskPreventive MeasuresEquipmentMonitoring & Review
Lifting and Placement of Curtain Wall Modules
Unstable crane setupCrane tipping, module dropping [1]Ensure proper ground conditions, use outrigger pads, conduct pre-lift inspection [2]Outrigger pads, level, crane inspection checklistRegular inspections of setup, daily checks
Overloading craneCrane failure, module droppingAdhere to load chart, calculate load weight accurately [3]Load chart, weighing scalesContinuous monitoring during lifts
Module swingingLoss of control, impact with structureUse tag lines, controlled crane movementsTag linesObserve module stability during lifting
Working at Heights
Falls from heightInjury or fatality [4]Use of fall arrest systems, guardrails, safety nets, ensure proper training 1, 3, 7Harness, lanyard, anchor points, guardrails, safety netsRegular inspections of fall protection equipment [5]
Dropped objectsInjury to people belowUse tool lanyards, toe boards on platforms, exclusion zones [6]Tool lanyards, toe boards, barriers, signageRegular checks of securing methods
Crane Operation
Crane malfunctionCrane failure, module droppingRegular crane inspections, pre-shift checks, qualified operator 2, 15Crane inspection logsScheduled maintenance, daily checks
Two-blockingCable damage, load droppingUse anti-two block device, train operator [7]Anti-two block deviceRegular checks of device functionality
Environmental Factors
WindLoss of control, crane instabilityMonitor wind speed, reduce load size, postpone lifts in high windsAnemometerContinuous monitoring of weather conditions
Slippery surfaces (ice, rain)Slips, trips, fallsClear surfaces, use non-slip footwear, postpone lifts in adverse conditionsNon-slip footwearRegular checks of walking surfaces
General Safety
Communication breakdownMiscommunication, accidentsUse clear hand signals, radios, pre-lift meetings [7]Radios, hand signal chartsEnsure all personnel understand communication protocols
Unguarded swing radiusStruck by craneImplement swing radius barriers, spotters [3]Barriers, spottersMonitor crane movement, enforce barrier use
Emergency responseDelayed response, increased injuryEstablish emergency plan, conduct drills, ensure first aid availabilityFirst aid kit, emergency contact listRegular review and drills of emergency plan

Additional Considerations:

  • Fall Protection Plan: Develop a detailed fall protection plan specifying hazards, systems, anchorages, clearance distances, and rescue procedures [4].
  • Competent Person: Ensure a competent person supervises the work and monitors safety [8].
  • Training: Provide comprehensive training on crane operation, rigging, fall protection, and emergency procedures [8].
  • Equipment Inspection: Regularly inspect all equipment, including the crane, rigging, and fall protection gear, before each use [5].
  • Weather Monitoring: Continuously monitor weather conditions and halt operations during high winds or adverse weather [9].
  • Communication: Establish clear communication protocols between the crane operator, riggers, and installation crew [7].
  • Load Chart Adherence: Strictly adhere to the crane's load chart and never exceed its lifting capacity [3].
  • Emergency Plan: Develop and communicate a detailed emergency response plan, including rescue procedures [8].
  • Housekeeping: Maintain a clean and organized work area to prevent trips and falls [6].
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Ensure all workers wear appropriate PPE, including hard hats, safety glasses, and high-visibility clothing [6].

This table provides a starting point. A comprehensive risk assessment should be conducted on-site, considering the specific conditions and tasks involved.
