  • Include Lifting plant equipment position, lay-down/rigging area, position of delivery vehicles, landing points, Swing radius, signaller positions, ground and overhead hazards and exclusion zones. If required, use elevation drawings.

  • Slinging methods
  • Brief description of slinging methods

  • Attach images or sketches where applicable

Signalling/Communication

  • Indicate whether hand signals or radios are to be used. Also indicate signalling source and radio frequency/channel. This section can also include any unique signaller identification (that is, different colour helmet/hi-vis) if required.

  • Load Lifting details

  • Thorough examination certs for all lifting gear Attached

Access

  • Include any special travelling routes, road closures/highways notifications, access problems

Site conditions and hazards

  • The following non-exhaustive list should be considered during the lift plan along with any other factors that could affect any aspect of the lift - Excavations, Plant and equipment, Embankments, Roads, Overhead and underground services or obstructions, Rivers, Culverts, Railways, Drainage, Personnel and public, Inspection chambers, Other cranes, Buildings, stationary objects, Environmental considerations, Scaffolding, Airports within 6 km of site

  • List Control measures to eliminate risk factors that could affect any aspect of the lift

Strength and stability

  • Ground conditions must be suitable and sufficient and remain so during lifting operations. Include details of the ground conditions and any additional works required to the ground, including spreader mats specification and any testing regime required (for example, CBR tests). A temporary works design must be in place and checked off before any lifting operation or crane set-up takes place

Weather/environmental considerations

  • Give detail of wind speeds/environmental conditions that have been referenced/anticipated during lifting operations.

  • What is the wind speed for lifting specific lifting of loads on site

Third party considerations

  • Third party considerations e.g., over-sailing, pedestrians, works adjacent to railways, noise and restriction of view.
