Manual for ST300
The responsible person/operator is required to conduct a lift plan which must address the
foreseeable risks involved in the lifting of the load and identify the appropriate resources
(including people) necessary for safe completion to the lift.
Factors to include may be any or all off the following:
•
working under suspended loads (note; loads should not be lifted above personnel)
•
visibility
•
attaching/detaching and securing loads
•
environment
•
location
•
overturning
•
proximity hazards
•
derating
•
lifting people
•
overload
•
pre-use checking
•
continuing integrity of the equipment
The plan should set out clearly the actions involved at each step of the operation and identify
the responsibilities of those involved. The degree of planning and complexity of the plan will
vary and should be proportionate to the foreseeable risks involved in the work.
The position of mobile lifting equipment or the location of fixed installations can have a
dramatic effect on the risks involved in a lifting operation. It is vital to take all practical steps to
avoid people being struck by loads or the equipment itself during use.
