Guidance- Crane notification rules imminent
Guidance relating to the forthcoming Notification of Conventional Tower
Cranes Regulations 2010 has been published. The Regulations, which come
into force on 6 April 2010, require certain information about
conventional tower cranes used on construction sites to be notified to
the HSE.
The leaflet sets out:
- the types of tower crane that need to be notified to the HSE;
- who needs to ensure notification is made;
- when the notification needs to be made;
- what information needs to be notified; and
- how the information should be notified.
The guidance leaflet underlines that whoever has the responsibility for ensuring that the crane is thoroughly examined by a competent person, as required by the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998, should also ensure that the notification is made to the HSE.
The leaflet, INDG437, can be downloaded at www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/books/indg437.htm
