Safe Crane Positioning Near Excavations

Описание: Setting up a mobile crane near an excavation requires strict attention to soil stability, setback distances, outriggers, exclusion zones, and ground conditions. Failure to maintain safe distance from the trench edge can result in ground collapse, outrigger failure, tipping, or serious injury.

In this training video, we explain how to assess excavation stability, establish safe setback distances, and position outriggers on proper mats when operating near trenches or excavations. This content supports crane operators, Lifting Supervisors, Riggers, Appointed Persons, Civil Engineers, and Safety Professionals working in construction, infrastructure, and oil & gas projects.

Presented by Kingsley Osuala — Technical Lifting Trainer, Lifting Engineer, and Safety Instructor with 19 years of global experience in lifting operations, training, and inspections.

If you are involved in lift planning, crane operations, rigging, ground preparation, civil excavation, or technical safety training, this video provides essential knowledge for safe crane setup near excavation.
