Crane Audit Template

This crane audit template helps teams assess lifting operations and equipment safety on site. It guides you through documentation checks such as authorised operators, pre use records, defect closeouts, load charts, thorough examinations, and current service records. It also covers lifting accessories compliance under LOLER and pre use checks. Operational observations include machine status, free slew and weathervaning when not in use, remote control security, load capacity and security, use of tag lines, signal compliance, work area clearance, weather conditions, and lighting and visibility. Operator performance focuses on attention, adherence to procedures, communication, and post operation practices, including shutdown and securing the crane.
