Say this
- Every lift today follows the lifting plan. If something changes, we stop and review it before carrying on.
- Know your role. Only the appointed rigger rigs the load. Only the appointed signalman gives signals.
- Check slings and shackles before every lift. No tag, no certificate, damaged wire or webbing: it goes in the reject bin.
- If we do not know the weight, we do not lift. Tell the operator the weight every time.
- Never stand or walk under a suspended load. Use tag lines. Keep your hands off a moving load.
- Stay out of the barricaded zone unless you are part of the lift.
- Anyone can call stop. If you see something wrong, shout stop and raise your hand. We sort it out after the load is safe.
Ask the crew
- Who is the lifting supervisor and the signalman today?
- What do you do with a sling that has no tag?
- Where is the exclusion zone for this lift?
- How close can the crane get to a live overhead power line?
Show them
- Hold up a good sling and a rejected one. Point out the tag, SWL marking and the damage.
- Walk the lift path and landing area, and point out the barricade line.
- Run through the stop signal and the agreed radio channel with the operator.
