Å Safe Rigging Practices
ü Check the slings and ensure that the rigging angle is correct.
ü Make sure the load is properly secured and inform the Crane Operator of the weight of the load.
ü Make sure the lifting gears such as slings and shackles are well-maintained and in good working condition.
ü Make sure the load is stable, secured and balanced before any lifting operation.
ü Make sure any loose items are placed in a proper receptacle or container to prevent the load from falling during the lifting operation.
ü Immediately report any defective or faulty lifting gear to the Lifting Supervisor.
ü Place adequate paddings on the edges of the load to prevent the sling from damage.

Job Hazard Analysis
(Pre-Task Planning and Lifting Plans)
The Pre-Task Planning or Lifting Plan (Job Hazard Analysis) shall recognize all elements of foreseeable risk inherent in an operation and satisfactorily address them thus ensuring that safety is not compromised. This shall include the following, but is not limited to:
ü Ground conditions and crane support
ü Crane and rigging suitability.
ü Structural capability of the load.
ü Direction of an operation and control of the load.
ü Discussion about load supports, support, and stability of cribbing, horizontal rotation requirements, where horizontal requirements are to take place (these should only take place at a minimally elevated position and any cribbing fully supported).
ü Personnel not being subjected to location/working below a suspended load.
ü Interface with other contractors.
ü Access to/from lifting attachments.
ü Interface with the Manufacturing personnel (where required).
ü Safety procedures.
ü Exclusion zone.; PPE
ü Hazards of horizontal rotations if required.
