What the course covers

Daily inspections and reporting defects

Certification: Accredited mobile crane operator certificate. Regs: LOLER 1998, BS 7121 and PUWER 1998.

Typical mobile crane scenarios on Keith sites

Scenario 1
Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP
Scenario 2
Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill
Scenario 3
Lifting over a live road or rail — exclusion zone, banksman positioning

Audit findings this prevents

No written lift plan for a 'routine' lift — fails almost every BS 7121 audit
Outriggers not fully extended because of yard width — capacity halved silently
AP and supervisor roles combined in one person, which BS 7121 prohibits

Why this matters

£20m+

single-incident insurance exposure recorded on UK mobile-crane overturns.
