Case Study
Jack Tangney, a 29 year old died when a large timber panel, fell
to the ground whilst it was being lifted to the 9th floor
Investigating inspector Emma Davies said;
"The risk of serious injury, or worse from badly planned lifting operations
is well known; as are the measures needed to manage them. This
avoidable incident is an example of how badly things can go wrong when
lifting operations are not planned or supervised properly. When carrying
out lifting operations on site, three key elements must be in place to
ensure the safety of the lift
“a competent person is involved in planning the lift”
“the lift is adequately supervised”
“and the lift is carried out in a safe manner”
