Rigging and lifting Plan Components

Rigging and lifting Plan Components

Once the evaluation process has determine the type of rigging and lifting plan needed you will need to identify and gather information in regards to the following components:

• The rigging equipment
• Shackles, turnbuckles and slings being used
• The weight of lift
• Center of gravity of the load being lifted
• Crane capacity and crane charts
• Height, width and length of the lift
• Atmospheric and environmental
• onditions when the process is being performed
• Edges and corners of the load. It is important to evaluate all the geometry of the item being lifted
• Sling angles
• Load angle factor
• Floor loading capacity
• Determine how to rig the load using good rigging practices
• Identify and make sure tha the attachment points and load can withstand the forces created by the rigging gear attachment
• Work zone safety
• Evaluate hazards to determine consequences resulting from collision, upset, or dropping the load
