Risk Control for Gantry Crane Dismantling at Cilacap Plant, PT Adhi Persada Beton

Abstract

A gantry crane, also known as a portal crane, is designed to lift heavy objects. Initially, gantry cranes were used in loading and unloading containers from ships. However, currently, the function of the gantry crane is not only limited to shipping activities but has entered the construction sector. One of them is used in precast factories. The gantry crane at the Cilacap Plant serves to transport and move the Accropode. The gantry crane dismantling activity is a high-risk job. It has many health and safety risks that need to be addressed for welfare. This study aims to determine the potential hazards and risks to occupational safety and health in the activity of gantry crane dismantling. This research was observational, with a cross-sectional study design. The results of this research are hazard identification, risk assessment, and risk control on gantry crane dismantling using Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, Risk Control (HIRARC) and
dismantling methods. The conclusion can be drawn is that there are 123 potential hazards identified in gantry crane dismantling activities, including 25.2% extreme risk level, 60.9% high-risk level, and 13.8% medium risk level. The extreme risks of gantry crane
dismantling are trouble when the crane is lifting; the sling ties are untied/broken when lifting; workers fall while working at height; and unbalanced conditions. A company has done risks control complying with current government regulation.
