🚨 Safety Alert: Avoid Standing Under Suspended Loads! 🚨 Today, a near-miss incident highlighted the importance of staying vigilant on site. A worker was positioned directly under a suspended load while operating an EOT crane. The load fell unexpectedly, but thankfully, no one was injured. This serves as a critical reminder that strict adherence to safety protocols is non-negotiable. Let’s learn from this near miss and ensure we prevent similar situations in the future. 🔑 Key Safety Guidelines

Never work under suspended loads Rigging safety reduces the risk of dropping a load, but does not eliminate it. Rigging should not be adjusted while a load is suspended, and all work should be performed while the load is on the ground. During a lift, the entire area under the load path needs to be considered and kept clear. #5ssafety #risk #hse #ehs #safety #sling #lifting | 5S Safety Health, Safety and the Environment - HSE METE
