TPG Cranes, Hoists and Rigging Audit

by Nickolet Blackstock, from the Community

Use this audit checklist to evaluate cranes, hoists, and rigging equipment for safe operation. Verify daily and annual inspections, clear identifiers and load ratings, and the condition of straps, chains, wire ropes, and hooks. Confirm lifting plans for high risk lifts, labeled controls, cordoned overhead lift areas, and that teams stay clear of suspended loads. Ensure workers know load weights, operate within capacity, and are trained through classroom and hands on sessions. Capture nonconformities and assign corrective actions.

Cranes, Hoists and Rigging HSE GEMBA Template
Use this HSE GEMBA checklist to assess cranes, hoists, and rigging practices. Verify equipment identification and load ratings, review daily and annual inspection records, check lifting plans for high risk lifts, and confirm rigging straps and hardware are free of damage, wear, or distortion. Ensure pendant controls are clearly labeled, exclusion zones are maintained, and team members know load weights and limits. Capture operator training evidence, document deficiencies, attach photos, and assign corrective actions to close gaps.

Cranes and Lifting Equipment Critical Process Confirmation
Use this critical process confirmation checklist to verify that cranes and lifting equipment are operated safely and in compliance with site and regulatory requirements. Confirm service records and certifications, pre-use inspections, load studies for high-capacity lifts, ground and weather conditions, and effective exclusion zones. Check operator competency, communication methods, load charts, hooks and SWL markings, use of tag lines, rigging protection, spotters, and personnel-lifting controls. Reinforce safe behaviors and ensure an emergency and rescue plan is documented and understood.

Rigging SIF RMVP Verification Checklist
This Serious Injury Fatality Road Map Verification for Rigging helps verify that high risk lifting and rigging activities are controlled. Use it to confirm shift visual inspections of rigging gear, maintain a rigging register, and ensure lifting plans exist for identified high risk operations. Check that team members are trained in rigging selection and use, that zero tolerance rules are documented and shared, and that tag lines are provided and used to keep hands off loads. Validate thorough examinations by a competent person and removal of defective equipment from service. Record verification details, outcomes against MM1, and capture signatures and timestamps for compliance.

Suspended Loads Safety Checklist
Use this suspended loads safety checklist to improve safe lifting and load movement across manufacturing, construction, and warehouse operations. Confirm no one is working under suspended loads, verify fall zones are clear, check rigging is secure, and ensure secondary supports are installed and maintained. Include checkpoints for shipping and receiving areas and supervisor sign off. Adapt this template to your site to reduce risk and support compliance during crane and hoist activities.
