Lifting Plan to be available in Camp after completion of RA.
Rigging Supervisor and Site HSE Manager must verify before lifting:
The site – access and egress, gradients, ground type, excavations, overhead electric or
telephone cables and other proximity hazards.
Potential weather conditions, in particular wind and thunderstorms.
Selecting a crane of suitable capacity to perform the operation with an adequate margin of safety
including:
The size and type of crane, its duties and outrigger settings and loadings, the radius at which it
will work and boom length.
Selecting the appropriate load handling equipment, including chains, slings, lifting beams,
spreaders, lifting eyes etc. taking account of:
The load – weight and dimensions, lift points, sharp edges and location before and after the
lifting operation.
The weight of the equipment to be used and the impact on the overall weight to be lifted.
Determining the method of attaching the load to the crane (the slinging technique).
Ensuring that the crane and lifting equipment has current test certification and has no obvious
defects.
Ensuring that the Lifting Team is trained and competent and has been properly briefed.
Safety of persons not involved in the lifting operations

During pre-use checks:
There should always be a visual and tactile check to identify obvious faults due to day-to-day wear and
tear and failure or damage of all equipment. Suspect items should be taken out of service, quarantined to
eliminate re-use and then checked by a competent person to determine the appropriate action to be
taken.

Irreparable items should be rendered unusable and then disposed of. Repairs should only be carried out
by a competent person or organization: this is usually the manufacturer.
Ropes should be rigged so as to reflect the way in which they are being used to avoid sharp bends, take
account of deviations, consider carefully the sling configurations, take account of the effect of knots and
possible contamination of the rope.
It is useful for workmates to check each others personal equipment to ensure that it is fitted correctly, e.g.
the harness buckles are correctly adjusted and connectors are securely
