Machine:
Sizing of the lifting equipment: Adequate lifting capacity and sufficient reach. Maintenance of the lifting equipment: Ensure structural stability
Wire ropes:- Choose correct type and be properly maintained (lubricated) to prevent the ropes from snapping during operation. Braking mechanism:- Failure of the brakes would result in an unintended free fall of the suspended load. Safety devices:- Ensure safety devices are functioning properly and should never be by-passed in normal operation.

Centre of Gravity (CG) critical to maintain the CG of the load directly beneath the load-line i.e. hook. When in doubt, it is advisable to consult an engineer. Method of rigging are well established in the industry. objective to ensure the load is stable, secure and balance throughout the lifting operation.

Risk Management
General
mandatory to conduct a risk assessment on the safety and health risks posed to any person who may be affected by the lifting operation in the workplace.
In order to help contractors discharge their duties and put in place a system to ensure safe lifting operation,
a Lifting Plan that harmonised the requirements for Risk Assessment and Permit-To-Work is recommended.

Objectives
The primary objective of the Lifting Plan is to facilitate common understanding amongst the lifting crew for a safe outcome. The underlying principle is that all foreseeable risks are assessed and eliminated / mitigated.
The suggested template addressed key factors affecting safe lifting operations are:
Details of the load; Details of the lifting equipment / lifting gears used; Means of communications; Personnel involved in the lifting operation; Physical and environmental considerations; Sequence / special precautions; Sketch of the zone of operation.
Lifting Plan
Equipment
Assessment
The Lifting Plan and the Permit-To-Work system are actually part of the Risk Control stage of the Risk Assessment process. A proper Lifting Plan / Permit-To-Work serves as a means of verifying that the necessary control measures have indeed been taken.

Equipment Assessment
An equipment assessment must be completed as part of the risk assessment. Objective-to identify the hazards and assess the risks associated with the equipment for the foreseeable range of lifting operations The equipment assessment shall consider, but not necessarily be limited to the followings: Is the equipment designed for this intended type of lifting operation? What is the age of the lifting equipment? Was there any authorised modifications made to the equipment? What are the dismantling and assembly process? How are components of the lifting equipment transported to site for assembly? What type of pre-erection examination or Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is required? How is the lifting equipment controlled e.g. via pendant or within the operator cabin? What are the access and egress for the operator to reach the cabin? What are the dismantling and storage requirements? What transportation methods to use for continued integrity?

Pre-Use Checks
The operators of lifting equipment and accessories shall perform a pre-use check in order to identify any faults in the equipment. This should be a daily check at the start of each shift. Refer to sample checklists available in the Appendix 2,3,4 and 5 Useful tools for crane setup/ or pre use checks. Recommended for mobile and crawler cranes to equip with measuring tape, calculator, spirit level gauge and caliper.

General
Outlines the responsibilities for all personnel and entities that are involved in the lifting operation.
Contractor
to ensure the lifting operation is carried out safely, they shall ensure:A safe system of work (SSW) is established and implemented. LIFTING PLAN/ PTW/ RA The worksite is physically safe for the lifting operation The lifting equipment to be used is properly maintained and duly certified in accordance with legislative requirements. The lifting operation has the necessary resources to carry out the lift safely Personnel deployed as part of the lifting team are suitably trained, competent and certified, and that they had been briefed on the lifting operation Only competent sub-contractors are used All accidents, near misses, equipment failure or damage are reported and recorded

Lifting Team
Lifting Team
The Lifting Team refers to the group of personnel that is appointed to be directly involved in the lifting operation. The key factors to consider in selecting a Lifting Team include: Competency - Only suitably trained and competent personnel should be deployed as part of the Lifting Team. Composition It is good practice to try to maintain the same group of individuals in a Lifting Team so that the trust and rapport among team members can be built up over time. Communication The Lifting Team must use a common language that all members can understand. Any miscommunications can result in accidents.

Lifting Supervisor
Lifting Supervisor
Appointed in writing by the contractor.
All lifting operation must be supervised by the appointed lifting supervisor and shall:-.
Co-ordinate all lifting activities in accordance with the lifting plan. Brief all lifting team members on the lifting plan, safe lifting procedure and risk assessment. Ensure that only registered crane operators, appointed riggers and appointed signalmen participate in any lifting operation involving the use of mobile and tower cranes. Ensure that the ground conditions are safe for any lifting operation to be performed. Be present during all lifting operations. Take suitable measures to rectify any unsafe conditions to ensure the lifting operation can be conducted safely.

Carry out the lifting operation in accordance with the Lifting Plan. Inspect the lifting equipment prior to use to check for abnormalities. Check that load radius indicator and other safety devices are functioning properly. Ensure the ground is stable and the surrounding is free from any structures or materials Carry out lifting operation only when a lifting supervisor is present on site. Disengage from any manoeuvre that is dangerous Monitor environmental effects such as thunderstorm and strong wind Report any defects immediately to the lifting supervisor, and Record such defects in maintenance log book. Stop the lift whenever unsafe conditions occur and To check crane wire rope to ensure it is still within safe use.

General
All Lifting Operations shall have a documented Emergency Response Procedure (ERP) that covers all aspects of the operations. The ERP identifies in a clear and precise manner the requirements and actions to be carried out for any foreseeable emergency (with or without any casualty). These include: Toppling of the lifting equipment. Structural failure of the lifting equipment such as boom fracture. Dislodgement of the suspended load. Entanglement of load with nearby structures. Recovery of injured personnel in locations where access is limited such as within a tower crane.
