Crane & High-Risk Lift Monitoring

Description

the evidence system fixed/PTZ cameras positioned to provide real-time visibility of crane operations and high-risk lift zones, allowing remote monitoring of exclusion zone clearance and lift compliance.

Trigger

Crane mobilised and scheduled lifts programmed; or specific high-risk/complex lift requiring method statement/appointed person — requiring remote visibility and recording capability.

Activity

Using the evidence system cameras to monitor crane lift operations in real time, verifying exclusion zone clearance and capturing a continuous timestamped video record.

Conclusion

Lift operation completed safely with full video record retained. Footage immediately available for investigation in event of incident/near-miss.

Role detail

the evidence system fixed/PTZ cameras positioned to provide real-time visibility of crane operations and high-risk lift zones, allowing remote monitoring of exclusion zone clearance and lift compliance.

Steps (10)

1. 1Lift plan and method statement prepared by appointed person.
2. 2Pre-lift toolbox talk conducted with relevant personnel.
3. 3the evidence system camera positions reviewed to confirm lift zone/exclusion area coverage.
4. 4Prior to lift, site manager accesses the evidence system live view to confirm exclusion zone is clear.
5. 5Lift proceeds under appointed person/crane operator direction with the evidence system remote visibility.
6. 6the evidence system records full lift with timestamps — load attachment, path, placement, release.
7. 7For complex/critical lifts, designated team monitors live feed and can issue stop instruction.
8. 8Post-lift, footage reviewed to confirm operation proceeded per method statement.
9. 9In event of incident/near-miss, footage immediately preserved and incident investigation initiated.
10. 10Lift records — method statement, toolbox talk, preserved footage reference — archived in safety file.

Evidence (3)

• “the evidence system cameras used to monitor crane lift operations in real time, providing site management with remote visibility of lift zone activity and capturing a continuous timestamped record of all crane movements — footage subsequently used to review post-lift compliance with the method statement and to demonstrate safe working practices to the client.”

  Anonymized evidence record 26.1

• “Avoided dispute with council about use of crane after hours.”

  Anonymized evidence record 26.2

• “Under HSE Guidance L113 (Safe Use of Lifting Equipment), all lifting operations must be properly planned, appropriately supervised, and carried out in a safe manner — the the evidence system monitoring record provides contemporaneous evidence that supervision was in place for the duration of the operation.”

ROI model — Template G

Low-probability, high-consequence events whose expected cost is reduced by Evercam's monitoring, deterrence, or evidence capability. Calculated as expected value (probability × cost). Presented separately from operational savings in the output document under 'Risk Mitigation Value'.

annual_risk_without = event_probability × event_cost; annual_risk_with = (event_probability × (1 - probability_reduction_pct)) × (event_cost × (1 - cost_mitigation_pct)); saving = (annual_risk_without - annual_risk_with) × (project_duration_months / 12)

Notes

Absence of automated exclusion zone alerts limits proactive intervention. PTZ particularly valuable for crane monitoring. Cross-workflow: feeds into Regulatory Investigation (Workflow 27).
