🏗️ Crane and Rigging Safety

Critical Lift Planning

When the margin for error is razor-thin, planning isn’t optional — it’s lifesaving.

Critical lifts involve unusually heavy loads, complex rigging setups, or work near sensitive structures or hazards. These toolbox talks cover defining a critical lift, calculating load weight and capacity, lift plans, communication protocols, tag line use, and pre-lift meetings. Use them to guide crews through high-risk lifts with proper preparation, coordination, and compliance.

Support your safety meetings with toolbox talks on critical lift procedures, engineered lift plans, and OSHA/ASME best practices for complex crane operations.
