a maximum in-service wind acts in the most adverse direction.
When high wind speeds are expected, secure cranes in their appropriate out-of-service condition. If this requires the raising or lowering of a jib, have a planned procedure in place to ensure there is adequate time and space to do so. Cranes secured at picket points should be travelled against the wind to the nearest picket position and the storm anchor inserted.
Rail-mounted cranes taken out-of-service in high winds should be secured using securing devices designed for the purpose, for example storm pins or bolts that can be inserted into a socket in the quay surface, rail clamps, wheel scotches and chains.

Emergency procedures
The workplace where the crane will operate must have an emergency plan with an effective response to evacuate people from the vicinity of the crane in a controlled manner. Section 3.2 has further information about emergency plans.
A reliable and effective means of communication should be established between all workers in the vicinity of the crane to permit and ensure effective evacuation from danger areas.
Contact numbers for emergency services should be prominently displayed.
Emergency procedures should be communicated to relevant workers and include information about:
       using warning systems and what to do when they sound
       shutting down the crane safely
       evacuating the crane and the area nearby in a controlled way
       accessing and providing first aid treatment, and
       using firefighting and rescue equipment and where to find it.
