Summary
A quayside pad-eye inspection using a mobile elevated work platform resulted in basket handrail damage when crane movement caused the vessel to list and its pipelay tower to strike the basket. The flash identifies missing work authorisation, inadequate simultaneous-operations assessment and operator training, and recommends coordinated planning and practised rescue arrangements.
