The Tower Crane Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is a comprehensive 12 page procedure outlining the steps for safely drilling samples.

This SWMS covers the erection, operation and dismantle of a tower crane. A tower crane means a crane with a boom that is mounted on a tower structure and includes self-erecting tower cranes.

The Tower Crane procedure is ready to use and is not a blank template. Simply add your company details, ABN, and include any site specific details or risks and make it specific to the task at hand. It is then ready for printing and to be incorporated as part of your overall OHS System.

The Tower Crane Work Method Statement can be used as part of your OHS inductions, for Tool box talks or tender applications.

The Safety Procedure includes:

• PPE

• Safety Notes

• Planning

• Preparation

• Pre- operational inspection

• Operation

• Maintenance

• Emergency Procedures
