Rigging and Lifting Plan Components
Once the evaluation process has determined the type of rigging and lifting plan needed,
you will need to identify and gather information on the following components:
The rigging equipment
Shackles, turnbuckles, and slings being used
The weight being lifted
Center of gravity of the load being lifted
Crane capacity and crane charts
Height, width, and length of the lift
Atmospheric and environmental conditions when the process is being performed
Edges and corners of the load. It is important to evaluate all the geometry of the
item being lifted
Sling angles
Load angle factor
Floor loading capacity
How to rig the load using good rigging practices
Identify and make sure that the attachment points and load can withstand the
forces created by the rigging gear attachment
Work zone safety
Evaluate hazards to determine consequences resulting from a collision, upset, or
dropping the load
Ordinary Lifts
Ordinary lifts are the easiest ones to handle. They will normally require a verbal
planning process and preliminary lifting and rigging meetings. Only a minimal
documentation and evaluation process is needed, but always being sure that all safety
precautions are been taken.
Critical Lifts
Critical lifts need a more detailed plan before execution. This process will normally
require a written procedure and approval process.
Pre-Engineering Lifts
These are the most challenging ones to deal with. They will require specific rigging
points, lifting procedure and identification of components that will probably need to be
managed separately, to avoid problems, and minimize potential issues.
Rigging Plan Execution
Once the plan has been established, you will need to follow it closely to reduce the
probability of an accident. It is important to
Verify all equipment, fixtures, and accessories before starting.
Verify that all equipment has been properly inspected and that such
inspections are valid.
Identify a load manager or a rigging leader. It can be your site supervisor
ordinary lifts, assign a designated leader; for critical lifts.
Conduct a pre-use inspection and verify that all components are in good
condition.
Conduct a dummy rigging process following the pre-established rigging plan.
Be sure to identify and train all workers participating in the process.
Clear or prepare the area where the load is being placed or moved
Survey the lift site for hazardous or unsafe conditions.
Clear lift path of obstructions.
Identify the crane operator.
Follow specific instructions/procedures for attachment of the rigging gear to the
load. Use proper rigging techniques.
Stop the job when any potentially unsafe condition is recognized.
