Incident Overview Sharp-edged Peri shutters were lifted using a single-use strap above a live construction site. What Went Wrong Incorrect lifting accessory selection. Key Lessons Learned - Sharp loads require edge protection - Single-use straps are limited - No lifting if there's no lifting accessories available Safety Recommendations Correct lifting accessories must be selected based on load type. ●LOLER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Strength/stability); Regulation 8 (Organisation); Regulation 9 (Inspection/TE where applicable) ●PUWER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Suitability); Regulation 5 (Maintenance of accessories where applicable) ●BS 7121-1 – Accessory selection for sharp/abrasive loads; edge protection requirements; supervision intervention ●Manufacturer guidance – Sling limitations, edge protection and prohibited uses Wolf Lifting Dynamics Limited – Safety HUB | Case Study 57

Incident Overview Loose plywood was lifted without securing and later instructed to be returned mid-lift. What Went Wrong Poor securing and changing decisions mid-lift increased risk. Key Lessons Learned - Once airborne, safest option is to land - Mid-lift changes increase risk Safety Recommendations Loads must be secured and landed safely if lift is already underway. ●LOLER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Stability/secured load); Regulation 8 (Organisation, supervision, communication) ●PUWER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Suitability); Regulation 8 (Information/instructions); Regulation 9 (Training) ●BS 7121-1 – Securing loads; decision-making during live lifts; minimising time under suspended loads ●BS 7121-3 – Tower crane operations, especially where loads are out of view and require structured comms/supervision Wolf Lifting Dynamics Limited – Safety HUB | Case Study 56

Incident Overview A slinger remained on the platform while landing a concrete skip despite manufacturer warnings. What Went Wrong Manufacturer instructions were ignored. Key Lessons Learned - Crush zones must be respected - Fatigue affects judgement Safety Recommendations Personnel must stand clear when landing concrete skips. ●LOLER 1998 – Regulation 8 (Organisation and safe system of work) ●PUWER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Suitability); Regulation 8 (Information/instructions) ●BS 7121-1 – Exclusion zones and safe positioning during landing; supervision controls ●Manufacturer instructions – Concrete skip/washer stand restrictions and crush-zone warnings Wolf Lifting Dynamics Limited – Safety HUB | Case Study 55

Incident Overview A 13T excavator lifted and carried formwork panels with loose metal components on top while workers were nearby. What Went Wrong The load was unsecured and pedestrian control was ineffective. Key Lessons Learned - Loose items become secondary hazards - Distance is a control Safety Recommendations Loads must be secured and taglines used to maintain safe separation. ●LOLER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Stability); Regulation 8 (Organisation and control) ●PUWER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Suitability); Regulation 9 (Training/competence) ●BS 7121-1 – Planning/control of lifting operations; control of pedestrian interfaces; tag line use and safe positioning ●Manufacturer / site method statements – Excavator lifting limits and safe travel with suspended loads Wolf Lifting Dynamics Limited – Safety HUB | Case Study 54

Incident Overview A forklift lifted rebar mesh using chains draped directly over forks without approved attachments. What Went Wrong Forks were incorrectly used as lifting points. Key Lessons Learned - Forks are not lifting points - Improvisation increases risk Safety Recommendations Forklifts must only lift loads using approved lifting attachments. ●LOLER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Stability and safe configuration); Regulation 8 (Organisation) ●PUWER 1998 – Regulation 4 (Suitability); Regulation 6 (Inspection where relevant); Regulation 9 (Training) ●BS 7121-1 – Correct selection/connection of lifting accessories; prohibition of improvised attachment methods ●Manufacturer guidance – Forklift approved lifting points/attachments only Wolf Lifting Dynamics Limited – Safety HUB | Case Study 53
