2	Ground condition assessment, soil compaction testing, and outrigger pad civil verification	- Punching shear failure of crane outrigger foot through soft soil - Setting up over hidden underground voids, drainage culverts, or live utilities - Uneven ground settlement leading to crane out-of-level tilt - Soil wash-out or embankment slope failure caused by rain or dewatering - Insufficient outrigger mat surface contact area	- Catastrophic crane tip-over and structural boom collapse - Crushing injuries and fatalities of surrounding workers - Major utility pipeline rupture and site-wide flooding - Severe asset damage exceeding crane total loss	Lifting Engineer, Geotechnical Surveyor, Crane Operator, Lifting Supervisor	- Obtain geotechnical Plate Load Test / California Bearing Ratio (CBR) report prior to setup - Maintain minimum safety clearance of 1.5 times trench depth from edge of un-shored excavations - Mandate structural engineer sign-off on allowable bearing capacity (minimum 200 kPa) - Use certified steel spreader mats or engineered hardwood timbers sized via outrigger load calculations - Locate all buried utilities using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and obtain excavation clearance permits - Ensure crane level indicator (spirit bubble) confirms 0.0-degree deviation - Inspect ground integrity daily before and after heavy rainfall or high-tide shifts	P 4 × S 5 20	- Install automated settlement monitoring pins around the crane base perimeter - Require Appointed Person (Lifting) to formally inspect and sign the Crane Pad Handover Certificate - Mandate re-verification of compaction following any nearby civil trenching activities - Comply with ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - Comply with ILO Convention C155 – Occupational Safety and Health	P 2 × S 3 6
3	Deployment and fully extended leveling of hydraulic crane outriggers and stabilizers	- Crushing of fingers and hands during mechanical outrigger extension - Structural failure of internal hydraulic stabilizer rams or check-valves - Incomplete extension of outrigger beams contrary to duty chart settings - Slippage of outrigger float from non-level or contaminated spreader plates - Outrigger sinking during hydraulic pressure transfer	- Traumatic amputation of rigger digits - Sudden crane tilting during load pickup - Total structural failure of crane chassis - Fatal crush injury against nearby fixed structures	Rigging Crew, Mobile Crane Operator, Banksman, Mechanics	- Verify 100% full extension of all outrigger beams unless load chart explicitly supports intermediate mode - Ensure mechanical safety locking pins are fully engaged on all outrigger slider beams - Position crane floats squarely in the center of timber/steel outrigger mats - Elevate crane wheels completely off the ground to clear tires of all load bearing - Verify operational integrity of hydraulic pilot-operated check valves prior to set-up - Maintain visual contact between Crane Operator and Rigger during cylinder stroke - Keep hands clear of pinch zones marked with hazard warning stripes	P 4 × S 4 16	- Install proximity warning alarms or interlock sensors confirming outrigger deployment - Conduct daily visual leak audit of all outrigger hydraulic hoses and fittings - Prohibit crane operations if any single outrigger shoe is not fully planar to the mat - Comply with ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - Comply with ILO Convention C155 – Occupational Safety and Health	P 2 × S 2 4
4	Tower crane foundation structural inspection, anchor stool embedment, and torque verification	- Anchor bolt failure due to insufficient concrete cure strength - Anchor stool bolt shearing caused by improper torque tightening - Sub-base structural cracking or shear deflection under cyclic dynamic loading - Moisture ingress leading to corrosion and fatigue failure of fixing studs - Omission of high-tensile locking washers or double-nut locking mechanisms	- Sudden catastrophic tower crane collapse - Multiple workplace and public fatalities - Total destruction of adjacent multi-story buildings - Substantial financial insolvency and legal prosecution	Structural Inspector, Tower Crane Erection Technicians, Site Engineers	- Mandate concrete cube test certification confirming 100% specified design compressive strength (e.g., 40 MPa) - Use calibrated hydraulic torque wrench to tighten anchor bolts to OEM specified values - Perform Non-Destructive Testing (NDT/Ultrasonic) on 100% of embedded anchor stools - Obtain Third-Party Structural Engineer Foundation Sign-off Certificate before assembly - Apply heavy-duty anti-corrosive grease and protective caps over exposed anchor threads - Install earth-pit bonding achieving electrical grounding resistance under 10 Ohms - Re-torque all foundation bolts within 100 operational crane hours post-commissioning	P 3 × S 5 15	- Implement weekly precision surveyor monitoring for tower plumbness (max allowable 1:1000) - Require OEM technician sign-off prior to handing over the anchor base for erection - Fit vibration telemetry sensors on tower stool to detect dynamic cyclic displacement - Comply with ISO 45001:2018 – Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems - Comply with ILO Convention C155 – Occupational Safety and Health	P 1 × S 3 3
