Case Study 25: Poor Radio Communication During Lifting Operations
Incident Overview
A lifting operation relied on radio communication between the slinger and crane operator.
What Went Wrong
Signal interference and unclear messages caused delays and hesitation during load movement.
Key Lessons Learned
- Communication failures increase suspended load time
- Radios must be checked before use
- Clear protocols reduce confusion
Safety Recommendations
Test radios during briefings, establish clear communication protocols, and stop the lift if
communication is lost.
●LOLER: Reg 8
●PUWER: Reg 4 (suitability), Reg 8 (information/instructions), Reg 9 (training)
●BS 7121: Part 1 (communications, single point of control, stop protocols)
