Introduction
This subject area describes the procedures for conducting ordinary, pre-engineered, and critical
lifts. It discusses the requirements for
Conducting a lift assessment to determine the type of lift;
Preparing a Critical Lift Evaluation Form (CLEF) and a Critical Lift Plan or
Pre-engineered Lift Procedure;
Reviewing and approving the plan;
Conducting ordinary lifts and operating material handling equipment;
Certifying material handling equipment;
Inspecting and maintaining lifting and material handling equipment;
Inspecting shielding blocks.
See the Forklift Safety Subject Area for procedures on safely operating forklifts.
See the Aerial Lifts Subject Area for procedures on safely operating aerial lifts.
