When involved with a lift have you ever asked yourself, "I wonder if the crane is big enough?" or "Is the rigging set up properly?" or "Is it safe to move loads over or under a power line?". If you have thought of questions like these, then chances are there was too much risk in the lift. In this interactive online course we will cover, why lift planning is important, when a plan is needed, and who prepares the plan. We will also discuss the key roles and responsibilities associated with crane lifting activities and identify what information is contained in a lift plan. Then we will cover the purpose and value of a pre-lift meeting and the function of 3D computer modeling software in creating a lift plan.
