Crane Field Safety Audit Report

by Lee Bastings, from the Community

This crane field safety audit checklist helps crews evaluate crane condition, setup, and lifting operations on site. It covers operator documentation, load charts, pre-shift inspections, alarms and decals, housekeeping, and leak checks. Setup items include leveling, barricades, outriggers, cribbing, ground conditions, and powerline clearance. It guides lift planning, communication, rigging inspection and labeling, and verification of load weight. PPE, pre-lift meetings, permits, fall protection, and gas monitoring are also included to support compliance and safer lifts.

Crane Field Safety Audit Report Template
Use this crane field safety audit report template to assess equipment condition, setup, and lift execution. Check operator documentation, load charts, pre-shift logs, fire extinguisher and spill kit, alarms, decals, and cleanliness. Verify level setup, swing radius barricades, outriggers and cribbing, proximity to power lines, ground conditions, and a 360-degree work zone. Capture lift details including configuration, radius, boom angle, parts of line, load weight verification, and method of communication. Inspect rigging, labels, and safety latches; confirm qualified personnel, PPE, pre-lift meeting, permits, fall protection, and gas monitoring.

Crane and Hoist Pre-Task Checklist
This pre-task crane checklist helps construction teams verify lift readiness and safety before hoisting. It covers project details, time and date of lift, description of load, and names of key personnel. Pre-lift checks include team briefing, notifying nearby parties, validating required training and operator licenses, reviewing hand signals, confirming materials and rigging methods, and inspecting all rigging. It also guides checks for weather and wind, barricades and tag lines, ground conditions and outriggers, crane inspection records, designated spotter assignment, and safe clearance from power lines. Final sign-offs by the foreman and crane operator confirm the checks were completed.

Pre-Task Crane Checklist for Lifting and Hoists
This pre-task crane checklist helps crews complete critical lifting checks before using cranes or hoists on construction sites. Sections cover load details, total lift weight, radius and boom length; JHA completion and pre-lift meetings; training verification and licenses; weather and wind shutdown thresholds; communication and signaling procedures; rigging inspection and tag line use; ground conditions, outriggers and mats; barricades and exclusion zones; designated spotter; power-line clearance; and final sign-offs from operator, foreman, and safety personnel.

Mobile Crane Lift Plan Checklist
Use this mobile crane lift plan checklist and method statement to verify safe crane operations before any lift. Based on British Standard 7121-1:2016, the template guides pre-planning, defining the load, center of gravity and stability, access routes, ground conditions, and crane selection. On-site checks cover outriggers, packing and base, lifting accessories and SWL, operator details and competence, and visual inspections. It prompts RAMS verification and sign-off, role allocation (appointed person, crane supervisor, operator, slingers/signallers), environmental limits such as wind speed, working at height arrangements, and communication methods. A final review by the health and safety or site manager is required before the lift proceeds.
