Crane and Hoist Pre-Task Checklist

This pre-task crane checklist helps construction teams verify lift readiness and safety before hoisting. It covers project details, time and date of lift, description of load, and names of key personnel. Pre-lift checks include team briefing, notifying nearby parties, validating required training and operator licenses, reviewing hand signals, confirming materials and rigging methods, and inspecting all rigging. It also guides checks for weather and wind, barricades and tag lines, ground conditions and outriggers, crane inspection records, designated spotter assignment, and safe clearance from power lines. Final sign-offs by the foreman and crane operator confirm the checks were completed.
