Together we can lift safely
Lifting and hoisting is team work. Only as a team, and with clear roles and responsibilities for each team member, we can lift safely. The person in charge of the lift, the crane operator, the banksman (flagman or signaller), the lifting and hoisting experts: all have crucial roles to fulfill. Use this video to reflect on everyone's role. How are things organised at your worksite? Do all understand their role, and do they know the barriers they are responsible for? Is everybody aware of the situation, before work and during execution? Examples of industry lifting and hoisting incidents are shown. This part ends with a moment of silence for all victims of lifting and hoisting incidents. In the second part of the video, the importance of every step in the process is explained. It all starts with planning. We see an incident evolving over time, starting in the office and ending on site. In the last part of the video, situational awareness is explained. Imagining what could happen next and having a clear understanding of your role in owning barriers or critical processes is crucial to avoid lifting and hoisting incidents.
