• no person is to enter the zone where a suspended load may fall;
• all lifting operations are undertaken by a competent person;
• the lifting device operator must not leave the operating controls while load is suspended;
• the load must remain within the rigger or doggers’ line of sight at all times;
• tag lines are used to prevent the pendulum motion of a load, unless their attachment presents
an additional risk;
• tag lines must be long enough to allow the person handling the load to work at a safe distance;
• tag lines must not be attached to the lifting gear or looped around the wrist;
• high visibility clothing and riggers gloves are to be worn;
• loads are carried as near to the lifting device as practicable;
• loads do not exceed defined Safe Working Load (SWL) of plant and equipment;
• lifting operations are to stop if operations are made unsafe;
• operators of lifting plant conduct a pre-start check of all plant and equipment to be used;
• a reliable and tested communication method is in place between all personnel involved in lifting
operations (operators, doggers etc); and
• for Complex Lifts, a pre-lift briefing is undertaken with all lifting team members to review the
relevant risk assessment and the lift plan, refer to Appendix 1 Lift Classification;
Using Other Mobile Plant for Lifting Operations

Mobile plant other than Cranes or Forklift Trucks shall only be used for lifting operations if:
• the equipment is designed and certified for use in lifting operations;
• mobile plant with a lifting capacity exceeding one tonne is fitted with burst protection valves;
• correct engagement of the primary retention system and safety device is verified;
• the equipment is operated in accordance with the manufacturers specifications; and
• operators hold applicable licence and VOC for the plant.
It is expected that most lifting operations using forklifts will be classified as a ‘Simple’ Lift (refer to
Appendix 2 Lift Classification) except operations involving the lifting of personnel, or when attachments
are utilised and rigging is required to be performed.
For further information on mobile plant, refer to the Plant Procedure (HS-PRO-015).
Use of Temporary Lifting Points

Temporary lifting points or devices (chain block, come along, air winch etc.) shall be assessed and
approved prior to activities using the criteria below:
• for loads under one tonne, the point or device shall be assessed by a competent person to
validate safe lifting practices and the integrity of the point or device; and
• for loads of one tonne or greater, the lifting point or device shall be load rated.

Unattended Loads
A crane or hoist shall not be left unattended unless the following actions, where applicable, have been
taken:
• all loads have been removed from the hook;
• the hook has been raised to a position where it is safely clear of other operations, hooked back
or otherwise appropriately secured;
• all powered motions have been disabled; and
• access to the cabin / controls has been securely restricted.
7. TRAINING AND COMPETENCY REQUIREMENTS

Personnel operating Lifting Devices and Lifting Equipment shall be appropriately trained and have
completed a VOC for the equipment type. Refer to the Verification of Competency Guideline (HS-GUI-
002).
Doggers, Riggers and operators of plant shall hold a current valid licence relevant to the level of work
being performed. Refer to Appendix 3 High Risk Licence Requirements.
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland apply an exemption in limited circumstances where a person
without a High Risk Work (HRW) dogging (DG) licence can sling a load according to the following
conditions:
A person can sling a load, without holding a dogging HRW licence (or rigging) when there
is no judgment required for slinging techniques or the suitability and the condition of lifting
gear, because the following factors have been predetermined by a licensed dogger or
rigger or an appropriately qualified engineer:
• the weight of the load or weight range to be lifted has been determined and
communicated (which may be marked on the load)
• selection of the sling and slinging techniques for the load has been made
• the inspection of lifting gear confirms it is in a safe and serviceable condition
• the lifting points have been incorporated as part of the load (e.g. lifting lugs) or are
marked on the load
• the load is to be lifted within the view of the operator at all times
• standard lifting procedures have been documented and signed-off by the dogger,
rigger or engineer
• the person has been trained and deemed competent in the documented lifting
procedures
If these factors cannot be predetermined by the licensed dogger, rigger or appropriately
qualified engineer, then a person with a high risk work dogging (DG) licence must conduct
the lift.
For Council this exemption will only apply for lifts up to one tonne and a risk assessment (e.g. JHA) will
be required to evaluate and apply the criteria of the exemption.
The Council competency requirements for lifting are:
• For lifting a load less than one tonne, where complex lifting techniques are not required, the
worker performing the lifting operation must be assessed as competent via VOC to carry out
the task and to use the specific lifting equipment or plant.
• For lifting a load less than one tonne, where complex lifting techniques are required, the
worker performing the lifting operation must hold a High Risk Work Licence as a Dogger or
Rigger and be assessed as competent via VOC to use the specific lifting equipment or plant.
• For lifting a load equal to or over one tonne the worker performing the lifting operation must
hold a High Risk Work Licence as a Dogger or Rigger and be assessed as competent via VOC
to use the specific lifting equipment or plant..
Refer to APPENDIX 4 Training & Competency Decision Flow Chart.

8. MONITORING AND REVIEW

To ensure compliance with this procedure formal audits shall be initiated.
The audit should be completed by a relevant Council officer and comprise an assessment of the
systems and processes for Lifting Operations and a field observation component to verify the
application of the requirements. Determination is to be made as to the work groups’ level of compliance
with the requirements of this procedure.
This procedure is to be reviewed every 5 years, or earlier if:
• there is an identified risk to business;
• a significant electrical safety event occurs;
• incident investigation or audit results show that application of the procedure fails to deliver the
required outcomes;
• there are changes in associated legislation;
• there is evidence that the procedure is not having a positive impact on safety-related
performance indicators; or
• there is a change to the Construction and High Risk Work Directive (HS-DIR-002)
Any incidents resulting from lifting operations shall be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the
Incident Management Procedure (HS-PRO-034)
