Mobile Crane Training — common audit findings we prevent
From North-East Scotland sites we've trained on, these are the mobile crane findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- 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
