• Description:
  Before a lift, it is important for everyone involved to understand their roles, the hazards associated with rigging and hoisting, and how to safely execute the lift to prevent any injuries or fatalities. Remember This: 1. Hold a lift planning meeting before any work begins and ensure all personnel involved are aware of the plan. 2. DO NOT lift a load that exceeds the lifting capacity of the crane or rigging. 3. Monitor the weather (e.g., wind speeds), ground conditions, and other environmental factors and DO NOT operate the crane if it is unsafe to do so. 4. Keep the crane clear of obstructions, including overhead power lines, and maintain a safe working clearance from them. [Description provided by NIOSH]
