During a Lift
Lift the load slightly off the ground to ensure rigging
holds properly
Use a tag line when the rotation of the load becomes
hazardous
Handle the load carefully and smoothly
Do not make any lift until the signal person gives the
proper signal
Watch for pinchpoints between the load and the crane
or other items
Refuse the lift if the load will be carried over anyone or
any critical equipment
Never allow anyone to ride on or with a load while lifting
Know the weight of the load to be lifted
