⚠️ Critical Safety Precautions Before Lifting

📋 Pre-Lift Inspection

  • ✓ Verify crane load chart at actual radius
  • ✓ Inspect hook block for damage/wear
  • ✓ Check all slings, shackles, spreader beams
  • ✓ Test load cell/weighing system
  • ✓ Verify brake system functionality
  • ✓ Check wire rope for corrosion/breaks

👥 Personnel Requirements

  • ✓ Certified crane operator required

🌍 Environmental Safety

  • ✓ Weather suitable (no high winds)
  • ✓ Ground conditions stable/level
  • ✓ Clear area of obstacles/personnel
  • ✓ Establish exclusion zone barriers
  • ✓ Visibility adequate for operation
  • ✓ No overhead power lines nearby

📦 Load Preparation

  • ✓ Verify load weight accuracy
  • ✓ Mark center of gravity clearly
  • ✓ Secure all loose items on load
  • ✓ Use appropriate rigging method
  • ✓ Ensure balanced load distribution
  • ✓ Match rigging rating to load

⚙️ During Lifting Operations

  • ✓ Conduct trial lift slowly
  • ✓ Monitor load movement continuously
  • ✓ Never exceed 80% capacity (recommended)
  • ✓ Keep load clear of obstacles
  • ✓ Use guide ropes for control
  • ✓ Stop immediately if issues detected

🚨 Emergency Procedures

  • ✓ Have emergency contact numbers ready
  • ✓ First aid kit on site
  • ✓ Know shutdown procedures
  • ✓ Evacuation routes identified
  • ✓ Incident report procedures ready
  • ✓ Document all safety measures taken

⛔ CRITICAL DO NOT'S

❌ Never exceed rated capacity

Load failure risks structural damage and fatalities

❌ Never operate with damaged equipment

Inspect all components before every lift

❌ Never leave load suspended unattended

Always maintain operator presence during lifts

❌ Never lift in adverse weather

High winds and rain significantly reduce safety

❌ Never use makeshift rigging

Use certified, properly rated equipment only

❌ Never skip certification/training

Operators must have valid, current credentials
