Appointed person (lift planner) preparing this lift plan Daniel Cryer
Date 01/06/22 Signed DJC
Lift supervisor Daniel Cryer
Purpose
The purpose of this lifting plan is to identify the control measures necessary to negate the primary hazards of the:
● crane overturning
● load falling from the crane
● load or machine striking someone
or any other identified hazard.

Scope of works

Lifting of pre-made roof sections and modular pod units from transport vehicle in the
appropriate order and assemble in position on site to engineers specifaction.

Crane and transport vehicle to arrive on site at 8.00 am and lift supervisor to direct each to lay
down area. lift supervisor to guide crane into position and check. Lift supervisor to guide
transport vehicle into position and check.

Crane operator to begin rigging up once in position and given instruction from lift supervisor.

Plan the lift and operate a safe system of work Supply the Appointed Person Carry out all
work in accordance with BS7121 Ensure all equipment used is tested and certified and free
from visible defect.

Hazard Control

Underground Services Well maintained certified Machine

Trained personnel, L/s to control and
monitor all movement. L/s to make sure all
obstacles are avoided when planing crane
setup
Other Vehicles Well maintained certified Machine
Trained personnel, L/s to control and
monitor all movement.

Traffic Management to be in place, ensure

barriers are in place to prevent
unauthorized access, L/s to ensure
machines setup in correct position.

Unstable Soft ground Calculation of correct mat size for given

ground pressure. L/s to ensure vehicles in
correct position (see dwg)
Trained personnel

Machine Failure Well maintained certified Machine,

competent and trained operator,
emergency procedure in place.

Strength and stability

Ground conditions must be suitable and sufficient and remain so during lifting operations. Include details of the ground
conditions and any additional works required to the ground, including spreader mats specification and any testing regime
required (for example, CBR tests).
A temporary works design must be in place and checked off before any lifting operation or crane set-up takes place.

Weather/environmental considerations
Give detail of wind speeds/environmental conditions that have been referenced/anticipated during lifting operations.

rain to be expected on day of lift. wind speeds to be continually monitored and checked
throughout. no lifting if wind speed exceeds manufacturers guidelines.

Access
Include any special travelling routes, road closures/highways notifications, access problems.
Access and egress is to be from Queen Elizabeth street, the road is narrow with cars
parked either side wagon and crane should be guided in to ensure no damage to
vehicles or property occurs.

Third party considerations

For example, over-sailing, works adjacent to railways, noise and restriction of view.
