About

This crane operations podcast, part of Step Change in Safety’s 2021 Q2 safety theme, Safe Lifting Operations and Preventing Falling Objects, has been provided by Awilco Drilling. Ian Michael Bond, lifting supervisor, and David Dagnel, senior mechanic, talk about the importance of crane maintenance with regard to safe lifting operations and its importance to the workforce, the rig and the company. They highlight some of the inspections, checks and maintenance that they carry out. As a result of these processes, Awilco Drilling has recently (podcast recorded spring 2021) achieved two years zero crane operational downtime and no incidents.
