When is it necessary to evaluate the Crane Safety Level (CSL)?

Evaluating the Crane Safety Level (CSL) after significant changes or incidents in operations is crucial because such events can affect the crane's operational safety and functionality. Factors like alterations in load, modifications to the crane itself, unusual environmental conditions, or accidents can impact how the crane performs and may introduce new risks. Conducting a CSL evaluation under these circumstances helps to identify and mitigate potential hazards, ensuring that safety measures are up to date and effective.

Routine checks and periodic assessments like annual evaluations or measures based solely on operator experience do not adequately account for the immediate impacts of changes in operations or unforeseen incidents. Therefore, the requirement to evaluate the CSL in the aftermath of these events emphasizes proactive safety management and the importance of adapting safety protocols to the current working conditions.
