Lifting tasks

Lifting operations safety is essential wherever lifting is performed: accidents can often cause major physical damage and even fatalities, so it’s crucial to monitor and follow safe systems of work at every stage.

Lifting Operations Safety Service

This includes, but is not limited to, assessing:

• The safe working load and other load properties
• The tasks being performed
• The basic adequacy of the equipment and machinery for the task
• The competence of the individuals performing the task
• The environment in which the lift will be performed, including both weather conditions and the properties of what lies beneath the crane or other machine

Lifting operations safety is one part of a broader risk management approach. See our risk assessing service to see how this fits into a complete HSE strategy.
