moving of cranes and equipment on the roads or in the unit sites.
38.2 For all crane movements, a certified banksman shall be in charge to guide the crane
operators during operations such as lifting-lowering loads.

39.0 Work Equipment Controls
The following points related to control of the construction equipment used on site shall be
followed:
39.1 Following conditions such as changes of work methods, accidents, natural events or long
time disuse of any equipment which may disrupt the occupational safety, it is made sure to
conduct controls by the experts in order to determine and remove the failure in time and to
maintain the occupational health and safety conditions.
39.2 The results of controls shall be recorded and maintained properly to show to the relevant
authorities whenever they request to see them. When the construction equipment is used out
of plant, the certificate of final inspection shall be accompanied with the equipment. The
Ministry of Labor and Social Security has regulated the procedures and principles for which
construction equipment shall be inspected, by whom the controls are carried out and in which
frequency and under which conditions, as well as for documents to be issued after
inspections.
40.0 Equipment Having Specific Risk
40.1 The construction equipment shall be driven by the trained / certified persons who are
assigned to use that equipment only.
40.2 The repair, modification, inspection and maintenance of the construction equipment shall be
made by the assigned expert personnel only.

3. Key Points To Determine Hazards / Potential Incidents
Basically, each question means to put work in order. In application, nature of work step and
external factors can clarify some of these questions:
Can something hit or contact the employees when performing this work?
Can the employees hit or contact something resulting in injury?
Can the employees be caught something, get jammed or stuck between things?
Can the employees have difficulty excessively?
Can the employees slip, stumble or fall down?
Can the employees get exposed to incidents which may lead to damage such as gas,
heat, vapor, pressure, chemicals, asbestos?
Can the work performed have impact on another work or person?
Can the equipment be damaged in any way?
Can environmental pollution take place?
