Safe lifting starts with suitable planning
Lifting operations require suitable people, equipment and planning for the task. Responsibilities may involve an appointed person, lift supervisor, crane or plant operator and slinger signaller, depending on the operation and workplace requirements.
Before training or practical lifting, check that equipment and accessories are suitable, current examination documents are available where required, risks are assessed and a suitable lift plan is in place. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and current site arrangements.
