HSE orders Falcon to improve maintenance

摘要

THE HSE has told Falcon Crane Hire to tighten its systems of tower crane maintenance after independent inspection reports found 10 percent of 120 cranes checked had serious faults. In January, the HSE issued a Prohibition Notice forcing Falcon to withdraw all its tower cranes not already examined by an independent competent person (see HSW March 2007, page 4). Cranes could only return to service after independent examiners declared them safe.
