| Description | You failed to ensure that lifting operations were properly planned, appropriately supervised and carried out in a safe manner such that on the 27th March 2022 during the removal of the John Brown B Turbine rotor two 74 kg beam trolleys and associated lifting equipment weighing 80 kg and a beam clamp weighing 34 kg fell approximately 4.6 meters to deck landing with in 1m of a member of the lifting team and within the barriered off lifting area where the other 3 members of the lifting team and 4 other personnel were located. It was foreseeable that one or more of these personnel could have been seriously injured or killed by this falling lifting equipment. During the event, the turbine rotor swung in an uncontrolled manner causing one of the work party to fall to the floor causing minor injuries. This incident occurred because you had failed to install appriopriate end stops on the lifting beam OCA38 and you had failed to identify that these were not installed during the planning of the lift or during the inspection of the worksite before commencing the lift. Our investigation identified that you had used freewheeling trolleys rather than the geared trolleys as required by the lift plan and you had not carried out any review or authorisation of this significant change. Furthermore, we identified a number of significant errors within the lift plan and associated lifting drawings which were not identified during your lift planning, review and authorisation processes. | ||
