Review of the Lifting Plan

In conclusion
•Changes to Lifting Plans

Changes to the type and capacity of lifting equipment used.

Make Every Lifting Operations
Changes to the sequence of operations.

Changes requiring reconfiguration of the crane (boom/jib length, outrigger beam length
reduction, parts of hoist line, etc).

Changes in the rigging details which could result in a reduction in rigging strength or
significant increase in rigging weight.
SAFE
Changes in surrounding environment such as sudden presence of a temporary
structure obstructing the operation.

Changes in the weather and environmental conditions which have an adverse impact
to the lifting operation.

Changes to safety-critical personnel.
