Some important notes regarding CPA Contract Lifts
Under CPA Contact Lift conditions, the customer remains responsible
for providing accurate information relating to both the items to be lifted and
to the ground conditions.
The customer must have public liability insurance.
It is important to note that a CPA Crane Hire contract only becomes a CPA
Contract Lift Hire contact when the crane owner supplies the Appointed Person
and, hence, accepts responsibility for all aspects of the lift.
Please note that the preparation time required to produce the relevant Method
Statements and Risk Assessments for a Contact Lift will require a longer notice
than for CPA Crane Hire. |
