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).

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 applications for endorsement should be forwarded to:
