Pre-Lift Risk Assessment Checklist

by Nick Sesevic, from the Community

Use this pre-lift risk assessment checklist to plan and verify safe lifting operations on site. Assess weather and wind speeds, ground conditions for lorry stabilisers, and proximity to overhead hazards including power lines. Confirm crane capacity against radius and load, ensure clear segregation of the lifting zone, and maintain line of sight. Check lifting points and roofs, validate personnel requirements for stacking and de-stacking, and follow Network Rail rules where applicable. Capture compliance photos and document decisions before sign-off by the driver.
