Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)I would suggest that any safe system of work is assisted, and encouraged, by the use of visual reminders. It may be of assistance if written warning labels were affixed to the RC console and to the crane boom, to reinforce the practice of isolating the RC console every time the operator approaches the crane.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
