Phase 7: Contingency Plans & Emergency Response

Emergency procedures, abort criteria, and rescue plans

🚨 Abort Criteria

Operations must STOP immediately if any of the following occur:

> 25mm ground settlement observed during operations Wind speed exceeds 70% of crane rating or 16 km/h for fine lifts Loss of visibility between operator and signaller Unauthorized personnel enter exclusion zone Load instability or unexpected behaviour during lift RCI warning activates at > 90% capacity
