Product Overview

This risk assessment covers planning, lifting, placing and temporarily bracing tilt up concrete panels. It supports planning the work, coordinating the work area and managing risks associated with panel erection activities.

Activities & Risks Covered

This assessment addresses activities and risks including:

Verify panel strength, designs, drawings and lift information before work starts
Set up access routes and exclusion zones around the erection area
Assess crane set-up, ground conditions and plant movement areas
Inspect lifting inserts, rigging and related lifting gear before use
Lift, rotate and place panels while maintaining load control
Install and check temporary bracing to maintain panel stability
Manage work at height for connections and inspections
Coordinate cranes, trucks, EWPs and nearby work activities
Identify overhead and underground services near the work area
Monitor weather, worker condition, inspections and emergency response arrangements

Who is this for?

Suitable for contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses involved in tilt up concrete panel activities.

Activities & Hazards Covered

Activity	Potential Hazards
Pre-start planning and verification	Panel failure during lifting due to inadequate concrete strength, curing or reinforcement Incorrect or uncertified panel, brace, anchor or footing design Unauthorised variation from drawings or erection details Workers using outdated revisions or incomplete lift information
Site set-up, access and exclusion zones	Workers or the public struck by a falling panel, crane or displaced structural element Unauthorised entry into the erection zone Vehicle or pedestrian interaction with lifting operations Poor access causing slips, trips or delayed evacuation
Crane set-up and ground conditions	Crane overturning from poor ground bearing, slope or outrigger support Collision with structures, plant or stored materials during set-up or slewing Loss of load control due to incorrect crane selection or radius Workers struck by moving plant
Lifting gear, inserts and rigging	Failure of lifting inserts, clutches, shackles, slings or spreaders Incompatible lifting components leading to dropped load Damaged or untagged lifting gear Unexpected load shift during lift-off or rotation
Panel lifting, rotation and placement	Panel collapse, cracking or loss of control during lift-off, rotation or landing Workers crushed by panel swing, sudden movement or domino collapse Load travelling over workers Wind affecting panel stability and crane control
Temporary bracing and panel stability	Panel collapse before permanent restraint is installed Brace failure due to incorrect capacity, angle, anchor setting or footing strength Workers struck by moving or collapsing braces Premature removal of lifting support or temporary braces
Work at height during connection and inspection	Falls from EWPs, scaffolds, ladders or panel edges Dropped tools or materials striking workers below Unstable or unsuitable access equipment Entrapment or collision while using EWPs near panels or structures
Plant movement, traffic and nearby works	Collision between cranes, trucks, EWPs and workers Plant striking braces or newly erected panels Conflicting activities from other trades entering the work zone Reversing incidents in congested areas
Overhead and underground services	Electric shock or arc flash from crane boom, rigging or panel encroaching on powerlines Contact with underground services during anchor, footing or deadman work Loss of control caused by service strike or emergency evacuation
Weather, inspection and emergency response	Sudden wind gusts destabilising panels, braces or crane loads Heat, fatigue or reduced concentration affecting judgment during critical lifts Delayed response to panel instability, plant incident or injury Inadequate inspection allowing defects to go undetected
