Safe Mechanical Lifting is one of the nine Life Saving Rules.
Plan lifting operations and control the area:
🔺 I confirm that the equipment and load have been inspected and are fit for purpose
🔺 I only operate equipment that I am qualified to use
🔺 I establish and obey barriers and exclusion zones
🔺 I never walk under a suspended load.
