CRANE OPERATOR PRE-START CHECKS SAFETY VIDEO - MARR CONTRACTING

Marr Contracting (Marr) have released a safety video highlighting the importance of daily pre-start inspections on cranes and rigging equipment by crane operators and dogmen.

Endorsed by the Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA), the video is targeted not just at crane operators and dogmen working on Marr’s cranes, but also the broader industry, including site supervisors, crane coordinators and project managers.

Citing the analogy of airline pilots doing pre-flight checks of aircraft before every flight, Marr’s Managing Director, Simon Marr, said: “Pre-start inspections of cranes and rigging prior to commencing work is the most safety critical task crane operators are expected to do every day. It’s not just important, but a legal responsibility that comes with a high-risk work licence.”

Acknowledging Marr’s leadership on the issue, CICA CEO Brandon Hitch said: “Marr is the first company to mandate StartSafe® on a large scale across a fleet, and we want to recognise that proactive commitment to safety which is so important to both our industry and to CICA as an industry body.”

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
⦿ Marr is encouraging all crane operators, site managers and owners to share the video with their teams and adopt CICA’s StartSafe® for pre-start inspections.
⦿ Marr crane operators highlight why pre-start safety checks give them peace of mind that the crane is safe to operate.
