The mobile crane industry
has
initiated
a voluntary crane assessment program throughout
Australia.
Developed
in
consultation with
the
mobile crane
industry
as
a
whole,
the
program
aims
to augment existing safety
standards
with
annual assessments of mobile cranes
now
being
made
by
CraneSafe (a division of the
Crane Industry Council of
Australia).
The
assessment
program
provides crane owners and operators
with
a:
-
process for third party assessment of safety aspects of
their
cranes
-
common, industry-wide system for assessment of their
cranes
-
single
method by which crane operators, owners, manufacturers, suppliers, designers
and
importers may
fulfill
their relevant duty of care obligations under the
State
Occupational
Health
and
Safety
Acts
(OH&S). |

is
supported
by:
State
Trade
Unions,
Workcover
Authorities,
Crane
Associations,
and
the
Crane
Industry
Council
of
Australia. |
 |
|

The
assessment
program is
voluntary,
however
crane owners and users have a duty of care obligation under
individual
State OH&S (Plant) Regulations to ensure that their cranes are in a safe condition.

Mobile and Tower
Crane Assessor Endorsement
CraneSafe Australia is seeking to endorse additional Assessors to carry out
assessments on mobile and tower cranes for the purpose of issuing a crane
registration safety certificate.
Interested parties can either be companies or
individuals and in both cases there is a minimum requirement for experience and
expertise in the Mobile Crane industry. There is particularly a shortage of
Assessors in South Australia, Northern Territory and remote areas of Western
Australia.
Information on minimum qualifications and the program in general can be accessed
from relevant sections of this website. Expressions of interest and/or
