10+

Use this mining checklist to verify safe lifting and cranage operations. It guides supervisors and crews through classifying lifts (Cat 1 to 3), completing pre lift hazard assessments, and preparing lift or complex lift plans. It covers training verification in LMS for crane and forklift operators, setting exclusion and drop zones as per the BMC Barricading Standard, and ensuring equipment is fit for purpose. Confirm OEM compliance, crane certification, safe working load calculations, maintenance records, and documentation, with photo evidence for audits.

GRM FRCV Lifting and Cranage Checklist
This Fatal Risk Control Verification checklist supports safe lifting and cranage operations in mining. It outlines the risk scope for mechanical lifts using cranes, forklifts, overhead cranes, and rigging, and sets control objectives for managing the entire lift operational area, including access paths, swing areas, and drop zones. The checklist covers jacking requirements aligned with GRM and Australian Standards, including correct equipment selection, stability, isolation, inspections, and the use of suitable dunnage. It details lift planning and execution controls such as barricading and demarcation, spotters for multi-crane lifts, verification of competencies, equipment logbooks, alarms, and current inspection certifications. It also requires completion of a pre-lift hazard assessment per GRM-STD-0014 and controls to prevent personnel from entering drop zones using barricades and taglines, ensuring single-point accountability within the lift area.
