Crane Safety – Our Non‑Negotiable Commitment to Every Lift
Crane Safety – Our Non‑Negotiable Commitment to Every Lift
Safety
Safety Is Built Into Everything We Do
At Avalon Cranes, safety is the number one priority on every single lift we perform. We don’t just comply with industry standards — we aim to exceed them. From the moment a crane hire booking is confirmed, we begin assessing the site, the load, and the conditions to ensure the safest possible approach. Whether the project is in Brisbane’s CBD, the Sunshine Coast hinterland, or along the busy Gold Coast strip, our team takes the time to plan and execute each lift with precision and caution.
Planning
Pre‑Lift Planning and Site Inspections
Before any crane reaches your site, our experienced team conducts a full pre‑lift assessment. This includes inspecting the ground conditions, access points, potential hazards, and overhead obstacles. We work closely with builders, site managers, and homeowners to plan the safest crane positioning and lifting strategy, ensuring the project runs smoothly from the start.
Our Quality
Skilled, Licensed Operators
All Avalon Cranes operators hold the required Australian high-risk work licences and certifications. Many have decades of hands-on experience across residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. We also invest in ongoing training and refresher courses so our crew stays up to date with the latest safety procedures, lifting techniques, and compliance regulations.
Maintenance
Regular Fleet Maintenance
We maintain our cranes to the highest standards through a strict servicing schedule. Every crane is inspected before and after each job, with additional servicing carried out regularly to prevent downtime and avoid mechanical issues on site. This ensures that every lift is completed using equipment that is safe, reliable, and fully compliant with Australian regulations.
Our standards
Compliance with Australian Standards
Avalon Cranes operates in full compliance with Australian Standards and WHS regulations. We also conduct internal audits to ensure our safety systems remain current and effective. This means our clients can trust that every project is carried out legally, ethically, and to the highest safety benchmarks.
Safety briefing
On‑Site Safety Briefings
Once on site, our crew conducts safety briefings for everyone involved in the lift. These briefings cover lift plans, safety zones, communication signals, and any site-specific hazards. This step ensures that all team members and contractors are on the same page before work begins.
Assessments
Risk Assessments for Every Job
We carry out detailed risk assessments that take into account weather conditions, load weight, site access, and other environmental factors. This proactive approach reduces the chance of incidents and keeps both our team and yours safe throughout the lift.
Our improvement
A Culture of Continuous Improvement
Safety is never a “set and forget” process. After each job, we review our performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and update our safety procedures accordingly. This commitment to constant improvement ensures we stay ahead of industry best practices.
