Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist provides a step‑by‑step safety verification for mobile crane lifting at events, specifically designed for concerts, festivals and other large public gatherings. It guides riggers, lift supervisors and working‑at‑height crews through every critical stage of a lift to ensure it is planned, executed and concluded safely.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑lift planning and approval
  • Ground and site condition checks
  • Mobile crane equipment inspection
  • Rigging and load stability verification
  • Emergency and welfare preparations

The document is fully editable and shareable – adapt questions to suit the specific crane type, load, site constraints and event schedule. It helps maintain a clear record of compliance and supports the appointed person in demonstrating due diligence.

Compliant with: Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) and the latest HSE guidance on lifting operations.

Before the lift, ensure that all relevant permits, risk assessments and method statements are reviewed and signed off. Confirm that the crane’s load chart matches the intended load and that the site’s exclusion zones are clearly marked.

During the operation, maintain clear communication between the crane operator, riggers and the appointed person. Monitor weather conditions continuously and be prepared to suspend the lift if wind speeds exceed safe limits.

Use the checklist on site to record Yes/No/N/A responses, retain the completed form for the event’s safety file and for any inspection by authorities. It also supports the appointed person in demonstrating due diligence under LOLER.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

What types of safety checklist can I create?

We are building specialist checklists across a wide range of subjects and industries — fire safety, workplace inspections, equipment and machinery checks, site inductions, vehicle checks, PPE, first aid and more. Browse by category to find the right one.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

No. A checklist is a monitoring and inspection tool that complements your risk assessments and method statements — it helps confirm that controls are in place and working. Use them alongside your risk assessments.
