Product Overview
This Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) sets out the step-by-step safety controls for the Tower Crane Assembly and Dismantling process, helping your business manage risk and demonstrate due diligence. It is a comprehensive, pre-filled document that covers multiple aspects of tower crane set-up, self-erection, high reach lifting and working at height to support strong WHS compliance on Australian construction sites.
Activities & Specific Tasks Covered
This document includes specific risk controls for:
- Planning and coordination of tower crane assembly and dismantling works, including permits, exclusion zones and lift studies
- Safe procedures for crane self-erecting operations, including stabilisation, jacking systems and sequencing
- Assembly of tower crane mast sections, slewing unit and jib using mobile or assist cranes
- High reach lifting operations, including load charts, radius limitations and communication between doggers and crane operators
- Installation and removal of counterweights, tie-ins and ballast to maintain crane stability during all stages
- Working at heights from crane booms, masts and platforms, including use of fall arrest systems and anchor points
- Access and egress to tower crane structures via ladders, stair towers and temporary platforms
- Electrical isolation, proximity to overhead powerlines and management of energised plant during assembly and dismantling
- Weather monitoring and controls for wind, lightning and reduced visibility during high reach and elevated work
- Rigging and dogging practices for lifting crane components, including slinging techniques and inspection of lifting gear
- Traffic and pedestrian management around crane erection zones, loading areas and delivery routes
- Emergency response procedures for falls from height, structural instability, dropped objects and plant malfunctions
