Workplace / Jobsite - High Lifting Plan



A workplace/jobsite high lifting plan is a detailed plan outlining the procedures and precautions for safely lifting heavy loads, typically exceeding a certain weight threshold (e.g., 10 tons or more). Here's an overview of what's typically included in a high lifting plan:


Key Components


Planning and Preparation

  • Load Calculation: Accurate calculation of the load's weight and center of gravity.
  • Equipment Selection: Selection of suitable lifting equipment, taking into account the load's weight, size, and shape.
  • Site Preparation: Ensuring the lift site is clear of obstacles and hazards.
  • Personnel Training: Ensuring personnel involved in the lift are properly trained and experienced.

Execution and Monitoring

  • Pre-Lift Inspection: Conducting a thorough inspection of the lifting equipment and load before the lift.
  • Lifting Operation: Executing the lift according to the plan, with clear communication and coordination among personnel.
  • Monitoring: Continuously monitoring the lift for any signs of instability or equipment failure.

Review and Revision

  • Post-Lift Review: Conducting a review of the lift to identify lessons learned and areas for improvement.
  • Plan Revision: Revising the lifting plan as needed to reflect changes in the load, equipment, or site conditions.
