Lifting and Rigging Awareness Sessions 🏗️ I'm thrilled to share that we've successfully conducted another round of comprehensive Lifting and Rigging Awareness sessions These sessions are pivotal in ensuring that our teams are not only proficient in handling equipment but are also well-versed in safety protocols. Safety Focus Prioritizing safety protocols and hazard identification. Hands-On Learning Practical training on rigging techniques. Technology and Best Practices Updates on tools and industry standards. #SafetyFirst #LiftingAndRigging #WorkplaceSafety

In the last two months, we've had the ear of 167 operators on #knuckleboomcranes as well as #spidercranes and lastly, #carrydeckcranes that went through our #craneoperatorsafety programs. All of that is done on our customers site where they did not have to send anyone anywhere, they did not have to pay for accommodations, meals, travel, etc. for their employees. Yes, they paid for one of us to come to site, a far less cost to invest in their operational safety and asset maintenance. Now in this competitive marketplace and we all have one, there are new companies popping up as they seek to add revenue somehow to their bottom line, this is capitalism and it's good but not in a way you may think. What is not good is that they have adopted an old introductory model of being 50% less, double the back end fee structure, provide an "interesting" spin on safety standards and provide incorrect information to the unsuspecting. I am very much in favor of regulation of some sort in the #equipmentsafety vertical, I could care less about how they price their stuff out, they do it as they know the value they are giving, it's the poor safety information they are handing out that will get someone hurt, this needs to stop and while standards in Canada are good, they still fall behind the USA (still much more is needed in the USA), and the EU. While I've spoken a few times with folks in B.C, who follow the ASME standards for cranes, some in Sask and Manitoba as well, the issue is not compliance so much as it is, a lack of direction and uniformity as red seal operators have. I only hope that in the interest of keeping operators safe and company assets in safe operating condition those companies that are out there now realize this vertical is not where they need to focus or be. Ok rant over, keep safe, #LookUpAndLive #CraneSafety #CarryDeckCraneSafety #KnuckleBoomCraneSafety #OperatorTraining is not a game, it's a way of going home at the end of the day.

Why is the lifting plan procedure important? This procedure explains the calculation of the lifting load, accessories used, and competent manpower.

Benefits in running a 3D Documentation (3D Point Cloud) element to your complex site projects which will allow you to generate a simulation analysis to determine structure failure points. This could avoid incidents as the below video depicts. Danny Romero | National Sales Director Synergy Positioning Systems Australia

There you have it guys... All hardware used for rigging must be able to support five times the maximum intended load applied to, or transmitted to, that component. Additionally, slings using rotation resistant rope must have a safety factor of ten. And let's not forget to consider the lifting points you select must be strong enough to bear the weight of the load. Sooo.... Does that mean it's safe to stand under a suspended load? Let’s start by asking, what is a suspended load? Essentially, a suspended load is anything that is lifted off the ground. It doesn’t matter size or weight. Loads can be suspended by loaders, forklifts, or the obvious cranes. When working on-site our heads have to be on a swivel and paying attention to our surroundings. Usually, there is more than one lift going on at the job site at one time. If you are the one rigging the load there are a couple of things you should know. Make sure the equipment you’re using can support the load you’re lifting. Make sure you and the person lifting the load make contact and are in communication the entire time. Never stand directly under the load. Also, ask yourself – where is the load going? Make sure you’re in a good position so the load won’t swing over you once it’s lifted in the air. If you’re holding the tag line, be sure that you have a clear path to land the load without having to get under it.... Agree. I as a safety manners psychologist spent a lot of time on this topic. I believe a holistic approach is important...😉 Feel free to share it with others for further reach... #SafetyEducation #ProfessionalDevelopment #ContinuousLearning  #KnowledgeSharing  #Safety #Safetyfirst #hse #equipment #tools #hotwork hashtag #SafetyEducation hashtag #ProfessionalDevelopment hashtag #ContinuousLearning hashtag #KnowledgeSharing hashtag #Safety hashtag #Safetyfirst hashtag #hse hashtag #equipment hashtag #tools hashtag #hotwork

"Attention all rigging professionals! It's crucial to ensure the safety of everyone on the job site when lifting suspended loads. Did you know that all hardware used for rigging must be able to support five times the maximum intended load applied to or transmitted to that component? And slings using rotation resistant rope must have a safety factor of ten. Let's not forget to consider the strength of the lifting points as well. As a safety manners psychologist, I can attest to the importance of a holistic approach when it comes to safety. So, let's remember to never stand directly under a suspended load, communicate effectively with the person lifting, and have a clear path to land the load.
