CRANE OPERATION ANALYSIS

THE

INFINITY GROUP

Problem

Large Lifts –• are always well organized and equipped• managed with a detailed, formal “Lift Plan”• Resulting in no problems

Everyday, Routine Crane Operations – • cause most of our heartaches due to lack of adequate planning.

Mission

To have those employees involved in the hoisting operation to analyze the task, plan the lift, and complete the hazard assessment card as a group to establish good communications and assure job scope understanding.

Expectation

• To analyze all lifts• Choose wire rope slings where possible rather

than fiber or chain• Mechanical devices should not be used in a

load bearing leg• When “fitting the load”, load may transfer

CG may shift• Operators and signalmen must maintain

continuous and undivided communication
